Climate change fueling coastal flooding, report explains

Original: How climate change is fueling coastal flooding

Rising seas and warmer oceans are making coastal flooding more frequent and severe, according to a new news report examining the link between climate change and inundation in coastal communities. The coverage explains how higher sea levels allow storm surges and high tides to reach further inland, threatening homes, infrastructure and low-lying neighborhoods. The report comes as communities face growing pressure to invest in sea walls, drainage upgrades and long-term adaptation plans.

Why now: Ongoing coastal flooding events and rising seas keep climate impacts in the news.
