Independent UK - Hundreds of thousands of homes in the United States could face persistent flooding as climate change pushes sea levels higher, according to a new report.
... A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists quantified the risk by comparing areas already known to be at high flood risk against data from the real estate website Zillow.
Coral reef growth ‘already failing to keep pace with sea level rise’ Rising seas could make many islands uninhabitable within decades Sea level rise could be even worse for San Francisco than we thought
The result: more than 300,000 homes lining America’s lengthy coastlines could face chronic flooding by 2045, which would mean 30-year mortgages issued to home-buyers today could be placing them in at-risk properties. Those structures house some 550,000 people.
