Current Climate: Sea Level Rise Will Lead To Faster-Than-Expected Flooding On The Coasts
This week’s Current Climate, which every Saturday brings you the latest news about the business of sustainability.
O ne of the most well-known impacts of climate change is rising sea levels, and already coastal areas have started making plans to handle the flooding that will come with rising ocean waters.O ne of the most well-known impacts of climate change is rising sea levels, and already coastal areas have started making plans to handle the flooding that will come with rising ocean waters.O ne of the most well-known impacts of climate change is rising sea levels, and already coastal areas have started making plans to handle the flooding that will come with rising ocean waters.Jan 27, 2023, 6:02 PM UTC | Share this story Image: Mercedes-Benz AG Mercedes-Benz announced that it was the first automaker to receive government approval in the US for a Level 3 driving feature.
But new research published this week finds that those plans might need to accelerate, as the scientists behind it found that the flooding impacts of increased sea levels are likely to happen faster than previously thought.Not because of any change in carbon emissions, but because of better technologies.Not because of any change in carbon emissions, but because of better technologies.In decades past, researchers used radar to determine coastal elevations, which were then plugged into flooding models.In decades past, researchers used radar to determine coastal elevations, which were then plugged into flooding models.But the problem, these researchers found, is that radar can’t always tell the difference between plants and the ground.But the problem, these researchers found, is that radar can’t always tell the difference between plants and the ground.Advances in lidar, however, don’t have that issue, enabling more accurate measurements.” Mercedes certified that its technology meets Nevada’s “minimal risk condition” requirement Mercedes-Benz’s Drive Pilot is similar to “hands-free” highway driving systems like GM’s Super Cruise, Ford’s BlueCruise, and Tesla’s Autopilot, in so far as it allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals under certain conditions.
With those measurements, the study suggests that coastal flooding will happen sooner than previously anticipated, meaning that governments in those regions have shorter deadlines to work with in order to deal with potentially catastrophic climate impacts.With those measurements, the study suggests that coastal flooding will happen sooner than previously anticipated, meaning that governments in those regions have shorter deadlines to work with in order to deal with potentially catastrophic climate impacts.With those measurements, the study suggests that coastal flooding will happen sooner than previously anticipated, meaning that governments in those regions have shorter deadlines to work with in order to deal with potentially catastrophic climate impacts.The Big Read Getty Ayala-Backed AC Energy Expands Solar Footprint With $293 Million Philippine Project AC Energy is deepening its investments in renewable energy with the construction of a 300-megawatt solar farm in Zambales province, north of Manila..
