in reply to TobeB • • •There will be more Hurricane Melissa type of storms. Thousand year floods will occur every other week! Arctic ice is melting. Projected sea level rise of 12-16 inches between 2020-2050.
15% of East Coast local groundwater levels are below sea level. Those reservoirs at risk of sea water intrusion. By 2050, 20 million people in the greater New York City area would be at risk bc 40% of existing water treatment facilities would be compromised & 60% of power plants will need to be relocated.
