Sea-level rise accelerated in southern US

jeudi 13 avril 2023 à 22:47

Sea-level rise in the southern US has accelerated. Since 2010 it is rising more than a centimeter per year.

*A home purchased today in Pensacola will be underwater before the mortgage is paid off. This is so scary.*

This augments the damage done by hurricanes, but I think the sea-level rise itself will do more damage, because it is cumulative. Your locality may go 50 years without a hurricane, but it won't go 50 years magically skipped by sea-level rise.
