With many sunny spells going into the afternoon it's going to be windy. Most of the news the people living near England's coast haven't faced up to the reality of rising seas and climate change that's from government advisors who say it's almost certain that England will face at least one metre of sea level increase at some point in the future the Committee on Climate Change warns that that huge rise may happen over the next 80 years or within the lifetime of today's children our environment analyst Roger HARRABIN reports it's well known that the rise in sea level induced by manmade climate change would affect coastal communities but the committee says there needs to be a much more frank conversation about how many homes will really be worth saving as the waves get higher the report says in a worst case scenario the U.K. Could face a rise in sea level of a metre around the end of the century the committee warns that current official plans for Shoreline management are unfunded and unrelieved its report says big coastal cities like Bryson or Blackpool would need to be protected whatever happens but that it simply will be possible to safeguard more sparsely spread settlements by the coast a government spokesman said it would take whatever steps necessary to adapt to climate change Roger HARRABIN and just give you a sense of the scale of this according to some measures if you look at the British cartographic society for instance you look at the total length of the coastline of the you can including the islands it's around 20000 miles that's almost long enough to stretch right the way around the world if he were to lay it all out in a straight line so let's get a global perspective on this with Mark Sanchez he's the director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado and I asked him if we're all just not taking climate change and rising sea levels seriously enough Oh it's very much a global problem I mean the entire globe is going to see this the most recent projections are looking at something like. A meter of sea level rise by 2100 could be larger some of this depends on what the Antarctic ice sheet is going to do but you're already seeing affect for example Miami in the US has already seen the effects of sea level rise especially associated with high tides looking just beyond the U.K. The Netherlands places like that anywhere that's low lying this is really going to be a big issue the problem is it creeps up slowly on us and things that creep up slowly on us we have a tendency to ignore them and it was the the wrong because the way that this in human history has worked and because of the propensity that we have to build cities in coastal areas because of access to things like sea ports and trade routes there are a lot of people that live on coastlines all that's right there's millions Well hundreds of millions that live along coastlines it's really that you these are very very vulnerable areas many people live within a couple of meters of coastline and it's not just the sea level rise itself it's the issue it's the issue of what will happen like when a storm comes through a slick dorm surge comes through combined with A one C. Meter sea level rise that's the sort of thing that can cause real problems also things of for example solidification of aquifers aquifers becoming no good because the sea the sea water is encroaching upon them so it's more than just the sea level rise has a lot of things that go on with it so realistically I mean even given that the long time frame we're talking about sort of you know towards 100 years or so is there anything that can be done to prevent damage to coastal communities to big coastal cities because of sea level rise or realistic the are we going to have to abandon some of these places. Well this certainly a lot of things you could do the smartest thing of course we can do is get a handle on our carbon emissions and and try and reduce the warming as much as we can it's still going to continue to warm up we're going to have to live with some sea level rise no matter you know if we put a total stop to things today. It wealthy nations will be able to mitigate in some way. Yes by you know buildings speak seawalls and things like that have but if you look across the globe there's a whole lot of people out there who are very vulnerable who had very little to do with the issue of climate change but they're going to be the ones that are going to be hurt really badly if you think the will is that you even within the rich countries to do something about it because you know politics is a short time game isn't it when you've got elections and for every 5 he is it's not really a pressing issue if you say he is 60 is even 40 years down the road for someone to do something about it well that's certainly the problem the way our system works I would say that over in Europe you know you've got a I think a better handle on this and a better understanding of what is happening that we have here over the U.S. Especially with our present administration. But again it's a really tough thing to do because it is such a global problem but you know what's going to take it to wake us up to something like this you know real disaster unfortunately that's how things work sometimes but I remain optimistic we spoke to you before on a poem on 5 Live back when the warnings are in the year about the oldest and thickest C.I.'s beginning to break up and that the poster ice caps as we heading towards winter is there any sense of that slowing down or things still looking bad in that sense both things are looking bad we ended up this September to September that's the sort of seasonal midazolam in sea ice extent we ended up 6 Lois on the satellite record we were saved a bit by a somewhat cool summer but autumn has been extremely warm up up in the north this year and so I says the growing fast. We'll see what happens but there is just an overall downward decline in sea ice and we are looking at a Cecily ice free arctic ocean maybe mid 2040 something like that I don't think you can stop that there's nothing we can do you say you are pessimistic about the future not immensely. Well. I try to be optimistic I do have some some face that sanity will prevail but you know my position is one as a climate scientist who has studies this it has seen it all unfold and so I tend to look at it from a very realistic point of view the challenge that I have and others have is communicating this in the subway that my gosh this is really happening let's not ignore it but yet some people I mean you mentioned the current administration in the U.S. Which you know a lot of people would say has gone backwards in terms of their attitude to climate change from where we were with the previous administration so why isn't that no I mean through I don't know how I mean people like to believe what they want to believe is unfortunate our species does not always behave logically maybe we should have all been Vulcans but. I really don't know what to do it is very very disturbing what is going over here in the U.S. Not just in terms of issues of climate change but there's a lot of other things going along in our nation here that are greatly disturbing that is the director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado and Star Trek fan by the sounds of it Mark Sara's. Bring up tonight was story this happened pretty recently as a strong 6.8 magnitude earthquake which struck in the Ionian Sea off Greece just in the last couple of that was the United States Geological Survey says the quake struck about 35 kilometers west of a place called Le Faqir which is a village in the southern part of the on into Santee John and is of course a popular hot spot with tourists many of them from the U.K. Including Poppy Irving who arrived on the island for holiday yesterday AM Poppy good morning what a unpleasant way to start your holiday what happened and as you say hi and say yeah we left and that is known and. It is it sort of like a priest taking every I just 78 until maybe send it they're trying to get him to go as some people kind of gave maybe if asked so that something. Maybe I might try to break in during my point was that just getting in the panel that must phone backplate. A few minutes later the hope the hope maybe the time if a whole range of shit about 45 seconds. Breaks Out of. A couple couple of other things sort of to start a whole range shaking so we just the type in the dough a man down status because you could possess overflow Rob just one floor a. Couple of people so covered by the pope the pope was meeting with waves in the pope and the time the flaps on the tiles that come away the cap on the poke and of running. And then the man the sort of. People kind of stuck way from the building. Dead to come into God never a witch who stood now on the electricity or comedy say thank you to mains out quite by even as recalled you have been allowed to go back and about an hour ago I. Could see did you realize that it was an asteroid. Maybe 20 seconds into the play 5 I guess the I was pretty pretty pretty lay on the tickets I could call it the register right was it scary yeah it was really scary like want to say never never experience and not live my life and that she didn't it was happening my 1st instinct was to get out of the rain because it was up where we were up higher and I just thought it was going to happen and yet it quickly sort of grabbed grabbed a jump from side to run down says my job yes I absolutely have to hide in your pajamas and it's really the same make it to get a price good especially the next one is everybody says everyone safe and well that you can see your hotel yet yes A.P. Is a couple of it's quite a few international tours a couple of German people have got really decent wind up torches so that kind of loving life in the corner with that wind up torch. You know away from the away from the actual building and the guy that cost us he told us to stay away from the mission so it's like starting close if you come into the building he's sold their way from the 2 S. Or even fly away from the building away from the pope because he thinks the safest bet but he doesn't think that. A need neither does anybody else really a good sign because I mean did you know it was somewhere that was my goal to to to have a quick so you book you don't. Well I think it's wise to have never experienced anything that is willful but I know that the Iranian islands are susceptible. To tectonic plates so they know that and I call. The sort we saw without his article Why do we just manage to get. On a 3 day and. A celestial body to be in a line say. In the universe. The planets aligned and and so the new age quite for Costa predicted this would happen and it was a kind of being rubbish day for the last few days yes that she saw cost more so tomorrow OK Well yes I saw. The Red. Trace guy right here yes so you. Have any sense of when you might be able to go inside and get warm and you wait for the power to come back oh no just wait for cost us to give you a clear yes way you can to give us the OK ready to go back and I mean if someone is giving up the time of course Yeah and like you said it is up. 20 steps up was not really I don't like I like but it is up to sort of levels. You know when I say that risk especially. Poppy stay safe thank you very much for bringing us up to date with that sounds like a pretty scary way to start the holiday. My friends I think my friend. And he down the road and she's ready to if she's listening just tell it I'm going to be OK and I think I think we'll be fine we're going to get a bill again in the morning. Show Poppy thank you very much a day that says Poppy having his own holiday in Santa Fe which has been struck by a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in the last couple of analysts this move on Google says it sacked 48 people have a sexual harassment claims in the past 2 years the company's C.E.O. Said in a letter to employees that it was taking a hard line on inappropriate conduct and that. That it was in response to a story in The New York Times that said that one employee Andy Rubin received a $19000000.00 exit package despite facing misconduct allegations that Katie Bennett is the reporter at The New York Times he wrote the story Katie Good morning welcome to the program thank you so much Katie said this let's actually begin. Today a story in The New York Times was difficult to read so it's obviously very clearly in response to your story just just remind us of I read the article myself and it is quite a lot of allegations in that some of which have been addressed in this letter some of which haven't What is it that you uncovered. I said I The letter does address almost everything we wrote what we wanted to do if you want to take a close look at Google's overall culture what is it doing how does it respond to this conduct by men of issues of power and how they treat women always and it was over and over again whether it was something whether it was getting subordinates and then you know planning a whole family with them and abandoning a lot of the credibly accused of sexually assaulting a person who he works with that Google decided in each case to not only not punish the man but a contagious Atlanta reward them put down their careers or give them money or they did so finally compelled to push the company it was startling because $1.00 is to say now at least in companies pay off women for their silence the government because they need to ferret these women because they didn't feel that they would ever say anything and one of the complainants coming to your article was was was asked to be quiet something that Google said they they wouldn't do generally to a complainant in this kind of case but they say they told you that they were told to basically shut up about it. Yes as a lackey there's only one for a job interview and during the interview the gentleman told her that he was polyamorous which is a very technical question for a job interview but he did as could have seen him again and she assumed it was because he wanted to talk about the job and he asked her to me in a very informal circumstance she brought her mom along should work this is clothe a sterile Anderson was going on and then after he got her shirt give her a back rub when she told Google about this incident you know long after the fact she was incredibly embarrassed they said that they did an investigation and found her claims credible and he still works for the company still as a manager so Andy Rubin who is known to many people as the father of Android the mobile phone operating system it's been phenomenally successful food for Google as well as a lot of other companies so he was the subject of a misconduct complaint that had been covered before we kind of knew that there were some allegations about him but but this huge payoff that he was given and a very amicable split from Google He was thanked publicly for his time despite the fact that he was effectively pushed out as a result of these allegations. Yes And I think one of the shocking things about this that the shock is in the detail it was not just a sexual harassment complaint the complaint was that his colleague with whom he'd had an extramarital relationship that she had broken it off that he she he coerced her into performing oral sex on him and the company found that claim to be credible they found it to be so credible that they felt they needed to ask him to leave and yet they also felt really bad about it and gave him $90000000.00 He's been receiving payment
