This is the best summary I could come up with:


The interactive format using the latest coastal imagery gathered by the province was the suggestion of some of Fenech's students.

This month, Fenech is touring the Island with an updated version of CLIVE, visiting eight communities to give residents a glimpse into the future.

"I'm hoping that they can judge their vulnerability and then take action, which is either move their structure further away from the shore or build up some form of protection."

"Like everyone else, I'm seduced by the ocean, so I'd love to live right on the coast, but it's not a realistic option anymore on Prince Edward Island under climate change, in many places."

While that might seem like a slow rate to some, it doesn't take very long for 30 feet of coastline in front of a summer cottage, for instance, to disappear.

"Fiona acted like a big great white shark taking huge bites out of our province.

It's such a shame nuclear power is such a non-starter politically. If we could go back in time, switching from coal to nuclear earlier would have been a massive change for climate change.

I'm still an optimist about this; at some point, if we keep pushing, we'll reach a political will inflection point and actually start taking serious action on climate change. With serious financial backing, we will be able to scale up technological solutions to anthropogenic climate change.

Realistically, we're already past the point where renewables are cheaper than nuclear, so it doesn't make much sense to go into it now.

20 years ago would be a different story.
