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
Why flooding will worsen in the mid-2030s
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.
“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.
