Sea level rise is a real and increasing threat to Australia, as the majority of the population live around the coast. Cairns in Queensland is particularly vulnerable. King tides in March 2010 came within inches of inundating the city. If this high tide had coincided with a storm, it would have spelled disaster. Cairns has recently spent $millions on new pumping stations that pump storm water out to sea, This storm water, due to increasing sea levels was backing up and flooding the centre of Cairns during the highest tides.
