Boston’s Rendezvous with Climate Destiny; A coastal winter storm shows one of America’s oldest cities what sea-level rise really means.
Update: I just found this article in Ensia (thanks to Homeland Security Wire) with some details re scientific research on the issues in Boston. With storms intensifying and oceans on the rise, Boston weighs strategies for staying dry. A multi-billion-dollar seawall is among climate adaptation options under consideration for the iconic coastal city.
Duh! My blog post on this should show up tomorrow.
You would think (as noted in the article) that Boston would know better. Their flood zone mapping shows the risks of sea rise.
Best,
