ECONUNDRUMS YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL DILEMMAS SOLVED

 

MOTHER JONES

July 29, 2013

 

THIS WEEK'S ECONUNDRUM

When Will the Next Superstorm Sandy Strike Your City?

Scientists often refer to the "100-year flood," the highest water level expected over the course of a century.

But with sea levels rising along the East Coast—a natural phenomenon accelerated by climate change—scientists project that in our lifetimes what was once considered a 100-year flood will happen every 3 to 20 years. And truly catastrophic storms will do damage that is unimaginable today.

Roughly 123 million of us—39 percent of the US population—dwell in coastal counties. And that spells trouble: Fifty percent of the nation's shorelines, 11,200 miles in all, are highly vulnerable to sea level rise.

What's in store for your neck of the woods? (Hint: It's not just coasts that are vulnerable to flooding.) To find out, read Kate Sheppard's in-depth investigation into our ever-encroaching seas. [READ MORE]
