CLIMATE CRISIS

Landslides. Beginning Of Our End?

As the world’s climate is changing for the worst it seems that the planet has other destructive ways of fighting us back. Britain’s coast is eroding.

The pictures were captured by Ziggy Austin at Rock Solid Coasteering on Monday — with some caravans appearing just meters away from the edge. Courtesy of Mail Online dated 05 January 2022.

This planet is dying. The human race is killing it …
If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives.

“This follows a worrying pattern in a number of cliff falls in the area over the last 18 months, with Exmouth and Sidmouth seeing some of the most severe,” reported the Mail Online (dated 05.01.2022.)

In a statement made on Facebook, a spokesperson had said:

‘Cliff falls this morning, please stay away from the base of cliffs and take note of the signs, they are there for a reason.’

It came just one month after a number of beach-goers were pictured sitting directly under crumbling cliffs there, despite an enormous sign warning them. Revellers were seen near Sandy Bay as Britons rushed to the coast to take advantage of the heatwave. Beach-goers were pictured beside a yellow sign which reads ‘DANGER, beware of falling rocks’.
