The region has witnessed higher precipitation and even heavier precipitation events in recent years (Climate Impacts in the Northeast | Climate Change Impacts | US EPA”, 1). Deaths as a result of heat are expected to increase. The quality of air will also reduce; especially in the urban centers. The sea level in the north east has risen by at least a foot since 1900. The change has increased flooding in the coastal strip.
It has been projected that the sea level across the globe will increase by between 1 and 4 feet by the century turn. It is noted that the north east is likely to experience an even… Continue Reading...
