Desert Sun: It is poetic that Texas and Oklahoma should feel greatest impact of climate change being that these two most strongly represent the denialism of Red State America. In case anyone hasnt noticed, it is Red State America, the land of the climate change denialists, that has been hit hardest by droughts, heat, wildfires, floods, and devastating storms. An amazing 87 percent of Texas remains under some form of water restrictions as drought persists, pushing the cost of beef to all-time highs in our local...

AAP: The sea level is expected to rise about 1.5 feet off the Jersey Shore by 2050, and a 10-year noreaster in 2100 would cause more flooding in Atlantic City than happened during superstorm Sandy, a Rutgers scientist predicted Thursday. Sea-level rise is not a disaster in the near-term, but it is a concern that must be planned for, said Kenneth G. Miller, a Rutgers University professor and lead author of a study published this week. And to a certain extent, it doesnt matter if you believe in global...
Sea level rise and shoreline changes are lead influences on floods from tropical cyclones

ScienceDaily: Despite the fact that recent studies have focused on climate change impacts on the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones themselves, a research team led by Jon Woodruff of the University of Massachusetts Amherst found on review of the relevant science that sea level rise and shoreline retreat are the two more certain factors expected to drive an increase in future flood risk from such storms. Writing in the current special issue of Nature dedicated to coastal regions, geoscientist Woodruff,...

Experts say the IPCC underestimated future sea level rise

Guardian: A new study surveys 90 sea level rise experts, who say sea level rise this century will exceed IPCC projections Share Tweet this Email Sea level rise over the next century depends on future greenhouse gas emissions. Photograph: Jon M Fletcher/AP It looks like past IPCC predictions of sea level rise were too conservative; things are worse than we thought. That is the takeaway message from a new study out in Quaternary Science Reviews and from updates to the IPCC report itself. The new study, which...
