If you haven't read over the 2018 National Climate Assessment report, it's chock full of great information, important insights, and advice for how the US should be engaged with climate change. https://nca2018.globalchange.gov
If you look at Chapter 8. Coastal Effects, you might also notice a version of my Equality meme included there. It's a tremendous honor to be of use to this important work. https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/8/

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
Step 1: Stop denying reality for political reasons.

ReplyDeleteI especially noted that coastal counties comprise 48% of US GDP. If we don't start moving the infrastructure now, we will not be able to afford to move it later. The largest concentration of at risk DoD infrastructure assets is located at the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay. Where do you move it, and what will it cost?
ReplyDeleteMac Baird Ohio. A buck fitty.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle Ohio is a great location for the Air Force Base, but not so much for the Navy Infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteMac Baird Give us 150 years!
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle Given the channel depth required for most Naval assets, 150 years might be a challenge for Ohio, but I am sure there is a seaport in your future. The current math from actual satellite data indicates global sea level rise is not cruising along at a steady 3 mm per year, it's accelerating a little every year, like a driver merging onto a highway, according to a powerful new assessment led by CIRES Fellow Steve Nerem. He and his colleagues harnessed 25 years of satellite data to calculate that the rate is increasing by about 0.08 mm/year every year -- which could mean an annual rate of sea level rise of 10 mm/year, or even more, by 2100, if the rate of acceleration should continue to increase. I think your competition will be Maine, which currently has more elevated and rocky coastline than the rest of the East Coast combined.

Mac Baird I'm only kidding...southern Ohio has pretty much always been dry. https://goo.gl/images/vAvc3Y
ReplyDeleteOf course, if the Ohio River gets any bigger, you might get a small destroyer up it.
