A few days ago I brought to your attention that flooding caused by storm surge is becoming more frequent and severe due to rising ocean levels caused by climate change. In that message I pointed out that regardless of where you live in the US or, whether YOU have flooding, we are all going to pay for this phenomenon. The following article details…
Following up on my last post about the impact of the enormous iceberg that calved off of Antartica last week, today I am sending you an article about how the impact of melting ice could affect the United States (and the rest of the world as well) in terms of the flooding and its associated costs.
