Coastal erosion and climate change

Someone alerted me to this Utube video showing some aerial footage from eroding cliffs at Happisburgh on the east coast and the spectacular cliff collapse on the Cornish coast. I wouldn't have posted it but for the last comment in this news item - have a listen. The notion that cliffs collapse and erode due to climate change and sea-level rise epitomises common understanding of coastal erosion processes. As mentioned in the previous post, Holderness cliffs (and Cornish cliffs) have been eroding over the last thousands of years - cliff erosion may be exarcebated by sea-level rise, but is not the cause.
