Paris (AFP) – Climate change is on track to ramp up the annual cost of US flood damage more than 25 percent by 2050, according to new research Monday that warns disadvantaged communities will likely bear the brunt of the financial burden.
The study published in the journal Nature Climate Change used new flood models to map out the present and future impact of sea level rise, tropical cyclones and changing weather patterns.
Researchers used nationwide property asset data, information on communities and flood projections to estimate flood risk across the US.
The study showed that poorer communities with a proportionally larger white population currently face the steepest losses.
But future growth in flood risk is expected to have a greater impact on African American communities on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
"The mapping clearly indicates Black communities will be disproportionately affected in a warming world, in addition to the poorer White communities which predominantly bear the historical risk," said Wing.
"Both of these findings are of significant concern."
The researchers said these figures are "essentially locked in climatically", meaning that even if emissions fall dramatically they would still be the same.

What happened to that Ice Age they predicted just before they started predicted death by heat?
climate change is racist...who knew?
Again, toss this on the table and tell them you’ll wait for the response:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
I think that ice age just hit the Northeast.
Better we should eat bugs and let people starve...
So from here on out, every perfectly naturally occurring flooding event will be screamed about nonstop as “proof of global warming “
Oh Noes!!! I bet if I buy next door to Obama on Martha’s Vineyard I will be safe and stay dry.
Ya, cuz the "disadvantaged" own all that coastal property around Martha's Vineyard, Miami, Venice Beach,...
These LIARS don't understand that their panic porn has become the boy who cried wolf.
Globalist lie.
According to Algore’s Earth in the Balance, we are all dead now.
Only 8.48923 years left.
When will water front property go on sale?
It’s always 20-25 years out.
Far enough so that the screeechers never face the consequences of their bad prognostications.
But, methinks things are different now.
These articles and predications will never go away.
The Internet is forever.
Algor’s TEOTWAWKI antics are avaiable for everyone to see.
You can actually see that he is a total arse.
The other mark of stupidity is saying that the world would be fine if we were at the same temp as before the industrial revolution. How stupid is that.
The entire Climate change revolution is a fraud.
Tell me again where Obunghole bought his new mansion?-)
Go here to see their WATERFRONT...
Hah!
Pay no attention to that. Forfeit your freedom and industry to the government so it can protect you from the vague threat or else you’re on Russia’s side.
By then it’ll be the Chicoms’ problem. They’ll own us by then.
