Question Climate change and the GWR Mainline.

I gather that once again high seas closed the Great Western Railway main line to the South West at Dawlish over the weekend.

Any updates from anyone?

As global warming heats up the oceans the water they contain will expand, let along any extra water coming from melting ice caps and this must put the line at more frequent risk of flooding.
How easy would it be to open up the old LSWR route via Okehampton and Tavistock to Plymouth?
