Seas could rise higher than predicted, drenching coastal cities: study

Reuters: Global seas could rise nearly twice as much as previous, widely accepted estimates, according to a study published on Thursday saying low-lying cities face possible disaster by the end of the century. Sea levels could surge more than three feet (0.9 meter) by 2100 from melting Antarctic ice alone, on top of a three-foot rise already predicted, said the study by two American researchers that appeared in the science journal Nature. That same Antarctic ice melt could add nearly 50 feet (15 meters)...

Study: 70% of coastal Northeast could adapt to rising seas

Daily Press: Hampton Roads and other threatened coastal communities have long been bracing for sea-level rise, struggling to figure out how to adapt. But a new study published Monday suggests that up to 70 percent of the coast from Virginia to the Canadian border is actually more likely to shift and change rather than drown. Barrier islands will migrate landward, get carved into dunes or split into inlets, the study says. Low-lying forests will evolve into salt marshes, and salt marshes will build up and,...
Climate Change Study: Rising Seas Might Displace 13 Million People

Inquisitr: A new study on climate change gave a dire prediction for the costs of relocation, especially in Florida, where sea rise threatens a large part of the state. Some people are already relocating; more, maybe millions, will likely have to join them. The most recent study is novel because it combines estimates for population growth with projected sea rise levels from climate science. In the worst case scenario, which the researchers put at six feet of sea rise, roughly 13 million people will be at...

As U.S. Coastal Cities Swell, Rising Seas Threaten Millions
2016-03-14 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A growing number of Americans are moving into homes nestled between the idyllic beaches of the Florida Keys -- part of a national trend that's seeing coastal populations swell even as the seas swell dangerously around them. That combination of rising populations and rising seas could see millions of Americans living in homes that flood regularly during the decades ahead, according to a nationwide analysis published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. That's unless steps are taken to...
