Sea++Level+Rise

The impacts of flooding are simple. Towns will get washed away due to sea level rise, and disease will spread dramatically. Australia's major cities are all on the coast (except for Canberra) andall could get flooded in the future. It would not only destroy towns, it would spread diseases like those from the South East Asian Tsunami.
 * Impacts **

** Background Information ** Sea levels are rising at 1.8mm per year, but that is due to increase to nearly 4mm. Global warming and climate change is melting the icecaps at a devastating rate. In the future, many islands and coastal cities will be at a high risk of being flooded. ** Solutions ** The only solution is to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, which will slow down global warming, but in fact, there is no certain way to stop the icecaps from melting. Luckily, Australia's sea level is only increasing by 1mm, which is good compared to the rest of the world.
