Boston, New York, and Norfolk, Virginia will all see more than a foot of sea level rise by 2050, according to a new study by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The study, which is based on 23 tidal gauges stretching along the entire East coast, shows that Boston will have more than 27 inches of sea levels rise, Norfolk facing two feet, and New York seeing 20 inches of levels.

Tropical Cyclones are occurring more frequently than ever before, according to research from the Niels Bohr Institute. New data shows that these storms are more than twice as likely to reach land during seasons of warmer temperature. “We have calculated that extreme hurricane surges like Katrina are twice as likely in warm years than in cold years,” said Aslak Grinsted, a Climate scientist for the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. “So when …
