Scientists frequently tout new evidence that climate change will drive some of the most populated cities in the United States underwater. New York, Boston and Miami are all at risk. But the impact of climate change varies even within cities, putting residents of poor neighborhoods at greatest risk of suffering from heat-related ailments, researchers say.

“Cities tend to be warmer, but it’s spatially variable within cities,” says Joyce Klein Rosenthal, a researcher at Harvard who published a recent study on the impact of climate change in cities. “Generally, higher poverty neighborhoods are warmer and wealthier neighborhoods are cooler.”

I haven't received any feedback on the following point. Given that the world population is increasing, since the human body is at least 50% water, shouldn't ocean levels actually be decreasing, or at least not rising as fast as global warming alarmists are claiming, since more and more water is being stored in more and more humans?

Cities are poorer because they vote in Socialists as their leaders.

You don't necessarily have to be an idiot to be "a researcher at Harvard", but apparently it was a real career enhancer for Joyce Klein Rosenthal.
