Scientists say New York City already faces much worse flood risks due to rising seas
2015-09-29 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Post: In a new study, scientists say that the risk of major hurricane or storm-driven flooding in New York City is already considerably higher than it was 1,000 or even 100 years ago, thanks both to a considerable rise in sea level, but also, they say, to changes in the nature of storms. We see more intense storms with a greater ability to produce high storm surges at The Battery in NYC during the anthropogenic era than during the pre-anthropogenic era, the researchers write. The paper, just out...
Rising sea levels and stronger storms increase flood danger
2015-09-26 09:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: New research has found rising sea levels and stronger storms associated with climate change will produce longer-lasting, more intense periods of flooding. Many studies predict that future sea-level rise along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts will increase flooding. Others suggest that the human-caused warming driving this rise will also boost the intensity and frequency of big coastal storms. Up to now, though, these two hazards have been assessed mostly in isolation from each other. Now,...

The number of salmonella infections linked to cucumbers continues to soar with a U.S. health agency reporting 558 cases on Tuesday, a figure that's 140 more than just a week prior. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, three people in Arizona, California and Texas have died in the ongoing outbreak.

Rising Seas and More Intense Storms Likely to Cause Major Flooding Events
2015-09-21 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Rising seas and increasingly frequent and intense storms along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts could interact to produce alarming spikes in the extent and duration of floods, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change. The study projects that coastal flooding could possibly shoot up several hundred-fold by 2100, from the Northeast to Texas. Even the study's most conservative calculations, based on greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions over the next 85 years, suggest a 4- to 75-fold...
