“Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern seaboard, in Florida, and in other areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico.”, says NRDC. Not only will global warming do that, but the higher temperatures will cause more intense hurricanes and storms. Hurricanes are propelled by energy in warm ocean water evaporating into clouds and being churned by the wind into a hurricane. This means that the worse global warming gets, the worse the hurricanes and storms will get. And from the looks of it, it won`t be over soon. The floods will continue. The ocean will consume our coasts. And the Earth will change as it has been doing from the beginning of its existence. Human civilization has been accelerating the deterioration of its coast as well. Prior to habitation of the coasts like in New Orleans, there were natural marshes that served as “buffer zones”. The marshes took in the water and silt that the flood brought and prevented the waters from penetrating far into land. Without restoration of these marshes, the floods will continue as there is nothing to slow down oncoming hurricanes and the great floods that come with them. Furthermore, people who live on the coast are in grave danger. Property values after a major storm can decrease significantly. There would always be fear that the insurance and government won`t cover all your losses and further expenses in rebuilding. One might be stranded at one`s house and be without essential resources like food or clean water for days. Those who own small businesses without insurance would go under. People living in coasts run all the risks. Nobody
