high tide 2100 AD

I’m not sure how recent this high tide 2100 AD stencil on Gore St is, but I was fascinated to see it. There’s another on Flickr from 2005 so it may have been there for years, although it looks quite fresh. According to the very helpful Victorian government land website, the area around Gore St is approximately 26m above sea level. This artwork exaggerates how much the ocean may rise due to climate change, but its message is political rather than literal. For more information about the predicted effects of global warming and rising sea levels see 100 metre line.
