Beginning of Girlboss Tide
28th Feb 2023 | Ioane Taom
In the recent week, the first of the Girlboss Tide has been felt by the people of Kiribati. The average sea level has risen by around 50 cm, flooding all areas below that and causing water damages to all buildings in that level. The presence of Australian and World-Bank funded sea barries have protected certain areas from being flooded, however it has also had the terrible side effect of diverting and concentrating waters in certain regions. This has caused severe erosion of certain areas, leading to collapse of old evacuated buildings while main roads have been paralyzed by the inundation.
The latest projection have indicated a further rise of 2 meters by end of March and another 3 meters by April and reach its peak of around 8 meters above sea level in May. According to famed climate scientist Gal Aore, cyclones may or may not occur in the near future, according to how competent MPs are.
