• The Drowning South

Alabama and the U.S. Gulf Coast region have seen a sudden burst of sea level rise, spurring flooding in low areas exacerbated by rainfall and high tides.

• The Drowning South

Seas in the Southern United States have risen dramatically since 2010. The extra water has upended life — flooding homes, choking septic systems and deluging roads.

• Environment

New research shows that the overwhelming majority of the state’s wetlands – a natural buffer against hurricanes – are in a state of ‘drowning’ and could be gone by 2070.

• Environment

The Greenland ice sheet lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation and sea level rise, a study says.

• Climate

Some scientists have warned the rate of global warming might soon accelerate. And now, after the hottest year in recorded history, some believe it is already happening.

• Climate

Greenland’s floating ice platforms — which hold back trillions of tons of ice that could cause sea level rise — are in stark decline, according to a new study.

• Environment

Regardless of how aggressively humans act to reduce fossil fuel emissions, waters around some of Antarctica’s glaciers are forecast to warm at a pace three times faster than they have in the past, a new study says.

• Climate

Rising oceans substantially worsened the devastating storm surge that Hurricane Idalia flung at the Florida coast on Wednesday, according to scientific experts and data analyzed by The Post.

• Environment

Sea levels along the U.S. Gulf Coast are rising much faster than predicted. For New Orleans, the surge threatens its natural hurricane protection, leaving the city and surrounding area much more vulnerable to storms.
