Over 700,000 Australian homes in danger of being submerged. The Australian Department of Climate Change says that up to 80% of Australians will be affected by rising sea levels given the close proximity of their residences to the ocean.

The department warned, "It is estimated that erodible coasts will recede one meter for every one centimeter rise in sea level. Storm surges will exacerbate coastal erosion." Meanwhile, various scientific predictions say the sea level may rise up to several meters as time goes on. Our thanks for sharing of this vital information, Department of Climate Change and Australia. We pray that alarming scenarios such as these may be avoided through switching to sustainable lifestyles such as the plant-based diet.
