Climate Report Predicts Rising Seas Will Flood Coastal U.S. Cities
------------------------------------------------------------------

In climate news, a new study predicts coastal U.S. cities will be
deluged by frequent and massive floods unless greenhouse gas emissions

University estimate that so-called once-in-a-century floods could become
commonplace by 2050, with the risk of major flooding events increasing
40-fold.
