Climate Central’s new Surging Seas report has resurfaced (no pun intended) a somewhat dormant dialogue on the impact of sea level rise on American coastlines, infrastructure (including energy facilities, ports and military installations), homes, and livelihoods. It’s about time. Below are a few links to the report, related resources, and the public dialogue that followed, including the U.S. Senate hearing (the first on climate science in a long while):
