Rainy midweek, mild Halloween, November roses?

Surging seas put U.S. cities at risk

Surging seas put U.S. cities at risk

Sea level rise is one effect of a warming climate. The stealthy background hum of rising seas from glacial meltwater and thermal expansion as oceans absorb additional heat is a slow process. But when the increasingly higher 'base state' of our oceans is driven inland by storm surge, or seasonal King Tides in places like Florida higher sea levels suddenly become a dangerous and expensive problem.
