Rising sea levels caused by climate change, aligned and amplified by the lunar cycle, will cause rapidly increasing high-tide floods in the mid-2030.s
Jeff Bezos In Space: When And Where You Can Watch The Billionaire Take An 11-Minute Trip To The Edge Of SpaceWhen we get to a similar point in the Moon’s cycle in the mid-2030s, climate change will have worsened and sea levels will have risen. That’s because rising sea levels will suddenly be in alignment with the lunar cycle and cause a decade of dramatic increases in flood numbers.
It’s pretty bad already in many cities on the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts, says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , which reported over 600 high-tide floods in 2019. In the mid-2030s there will be high tides that exceed known flooding thresholds around the country more often—and for weeks on end.
This first study to take into account all known oceanic and astronomical causes for floods predict that the floods will sometimes occur in seasonal clusters lasting a month or longer. “Understanding that all your events are clustered in a particular month, or you might have more severe flooding in the second half of a year than the first—that’s useful information,” said Ben Hamlington of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, co-author of the paper and the leader of NASA’s Sea Level Change Team.
The researchers studied 89 tide gauge locations in every coastal U.S. state and territory but Alaska, projecting results to 2080. ...

The City of Miami Beach is in the middle of a five-year, $400 million storm water pump program and other projects that city officials hope will keep the ocean waters from inundating the city as the oceans rise even more in the future.
