There is general scientific consensus that the increase in anthropogenic trace gases in the atmosphere is leading to an increase in global temperatures. This global perturbation of climate is causing a rise in mean sea-level. Such a rise has important implications for sensitive coastal areas. Research on the possible consequences for the South African coast-line is urgently required.
