Recent analyses, including a Washington Post analysis, have highlighted an alarming acceleration in sea level rise along the U.S. Gulf and Southern Atlantic coasts, particularly affecting coastal communities across eight states. This phenomenon, described as one of the most rapid sea level surges on Earth, has been linked to climate change driving more intense and frequent storms, resulting in dangerous rain-driven and flash floods. The sea levels in these regions have risen at about triple the rate of the previous 30 years since 2010, with the Gulf of Mexico experiencing a rise at twice the global rate over the past 14 years. These changes are particularly burdensome for low-income and minority residents and are threatening lives, property, and livelihoods.
Climate change is driving the acceleration of rising sea levels and an increase in extreme weather events –leading to unprecedented flooding across the U.S. We must do more to protect the homeland from this threat. https://t.co/yL2iQM2AEI
Rapidly rising seas are combining with storms to generate epic floods across Southern states, including #Florida, threatening lives, property and livelihoods. https://t.co/Y4hcEVdifU via @chriscmooney
Sea levels along the U.S. Gulf coast have risen at twice the global rate during the past 14 years, with more dangerous rain-driven and flash floods reported within 10 miles of the coast in the region. That means some storms can now create epic floods. https://t.co/MedSXAMFHF https://t.co/0LUHfNMfH2
Not good news 4 Deep South-The ocean off the U.S. Gulf & Southern Atlantic coasts has, since 2010, risen at about triple the rate experienced during previous 30 years. In the Gulf of Mexico, sea levels rose at twice the global rate over the past 14 yrs👇 https://t.co/dLuG9CgqGq

What's rising at alarming speed -- desperation among climate hoaxers: Claim: Along some areas of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, recent research suggests, low-income and minority residents are likely to face a deepening burden as climate change fuels rising seas and more intense… https://t.co/uck2Ih2MqH
More, perhaps much more absent faster action on climate change, is ahead: “One of the most rapid sea level surges on Earth is besieging the American South, forcing a reckoning for coastal communities across eight U.S. states” https://t.co/VVp1eyhHN3
