- More than 1,700 American cities and towns – including Boston, New York, and Miami – will have significant populations living below the high-water mark by the end of this century, a new climate change study has found. "Pretty much everywhere it seems you are going to be under water unless you build a massive system of dykes and levees". The study drew on current research on sea-level rise, now growing at 1ft per decade. A recent study, also published in PNAS by the climate scientist Anders Levermann found each 1C rise in atmospheric warming would lead eventually to 2.3m of sea-level rise.
