« Overview
| LA MANGA WON'T DISAPPEAR BENEATH THE WAVES |
April 27th, 2007 |
With increasing media hype and widespread concern about the forecast
effects of global warming people in coastal areas may be getting a bit
worried about rising sea levels.
According to the doomsayers, sea levels are going to increase
substantially putting many coastal areas at risk and even literally
wiping some countries on low-lying islands and in deltas off the
map.The latest findings of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel
On Climate Change were recently presented in Madrid. The effects of
climate change are
already being felt in Europe, said experts. Biophysical systems are
changing in response to global warming. In southern Europe there are
now more torrential rain storms producing damage and flooding in
coastal areas. At the same time droughts are becoming more common and
lasting longer. Forests are at high risk from fires. Heat waves have
negative
health implications.
The most noticeable impact can be seen in episodes of serious drought.
These used to occur about once a century but now it looks as if they
will be experienced every 10 years. It seems as if 35 percent of the
European continent will be at risk of drought, compared with 19 percent
in the past. "Mediterranean type ecosystems are the lands most
vulnerable to climate change and will experience the most severe
impacts," said one expert. In view of statements like this, some people
have been looking with worried eyes at the La Manga strip. This is a
strip of sand that runs for some 22 kilometres and which encloses the
Mar Menor, Europe's largest inland sea. The strip is covered with
homes, hotels and other businesses and at the height of summer a
million people can be enjoying the sea and sunshine there. In some
places, bathers can take dips in both the Med and the inland sea as the
strip is only a few dozen metres wide. Talk of relentless rises in sea
levels has led to questions as to whether all or part of the strip
might disappear in the future. However, it appears that there is
nothing much to worry about, according to one expert. Luis Balairón, a
top official at Spain's National Meteorological Service has said that
there is no immediate cause for worry. "To talk of La Manga disappearing in 12 years is nonsense," he said.
So, the summer fun at La Manga looks like it will continue. However,
Murcia's main environmental worry is likely to continue to be drought.
More and more people are moving to the region and water supplies are
limited. Already there is heated debate with other regions who don't
want to see any more of 'their' water being sent to the thirsty
province.
