What Regions Face the Most Climate Risk?

Ecowatch - A new report from the Cross Dependency Initiative (XDI) looked at how increasing extreme weather events and other climate impacts might threaten important infrastructure in more than 2,600 states and provinces around the world by 2050. It found that the U.S. — along with China and India — was one of the countries with the most seriously at-risk regions. .... After China, the U.S. was the country with the most threatened states overall, AFP reported. Florida was the most threatened and ranked No. 10 overall, with California ranked 19th, Texas 20th and New York 46th, according to XDI. Sea level rise was also a major threat to many U.S. states.
