Why hurricane flooding is about to get more dangerous in Florida

Florida’s coral reefs provide protection from hurricane storm surges—and experts estimate that losing key species in those reefs could imperil thousands of lives.

Just out: new New Jersey state sea-level rise assessment

Under current global emissions trends, New Jersey is likely to experience 1.5-2.5 ft of sea-level rise between 2005 and 2070, 2.2-3.8 ft by 2100 (or 2.2-4.5 ft, considering potential ice-sheet collapse).

I had an engagement with blogger, failed California gubernatorial candidate, and self-identified reporter Michael Shellenberger this past week, which started out being about this new paper being heralded by climate skeptics as disproving global sea-level acceleration. (LONG 🧵)

Excited to share our latest paper on transdisciplinary research for clean & resilient energy systems in socially vulnerable communities!

We analyze how climate-induced extreme weather impacts energy infrastructure & propose solutions for equitable solar+storage integration.
