Description

Houston is doomed. New Orleans is sinking. All of southern Florida is likely to be devastated by massive flooding.

Over the past 50 years, sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico have risen 69% faster than global sea surface temperatures, which are rising themselves as the planet warms. As this trend continues, communities along and near the Gulf of Mexico will experience an increase in destructive hurricanes with related problems of storm surge, flooding and high wind damage. This book makes the case, based upon statistical evidence, for this prediction.
