Americans are flocking to the coasts faster than ever before. And with much of the nation's priciest properties already concentrated near shorelines, this puts more people and buildings at risk from the kind of extreme storms and flooding linked to climate change.

But for many communities across the U.S. the toll is likely to go far beyond physical damage. Rising sea levels could have a knock-on effect, making certain areas unlivable long before they're uninhabitable, effectively creating zombie towns, according to a new analysis from nonprofit environmental group Climate Central that looks at the financial impact of sea-level rise over the coming century.

Zombie towns? They are so freaking desperate.

funny that the ocean hasn’t risen one iota yet, and there are only a few years left before civilization collapse under the oceans according to Gore!

See BS zombies are surrounding seaside towns. Film at 11.

Coastal real estate prices continue to outpace inland real estate.

The left hates this and needs to fabricate whatever stories they can to “explain it.

Utter tripe.

Is that why Zero bought an ocean side mansion on Marthas Vineyard.

The rising sea level of inflation!

America’s coastal cities are already supposed to be underwater according to Al Gore 15 years ago.

Zombie towns like L.A, San Peloshitsco, Chicago, D.C., New York Shitty? At least those “zombie” towns will be filled with druggies, gang members, killers, dorks, and other assorted DemocRAT voters. CBS is sooooo yesterday. Grow ouop, media tards.

Inconceivable!

Then we need a National Declaration of an Emergency including Quarantining and Red Tagging any and all property within 200 feet of Mean Sea Level and within 3 miles of the coast.
Order ALL these properties in the country VACATED IMMEDIATELY, Then RAZE all of it and Force the Property Owners to pay for it, to save their very lives...

GOD set the boundary of the seas.

I was there when He established the heavens,

when He drew the horizon on the oceans. Proverbs 8:27

Oops, that’s “won’t be”, not “will be”. I had a Kamala moment.

"The Gulf Coast will see a double whammy from rising water levels and sinking ground due to the constant influx of sediment from the Mississippi river and the hollowing out of many areas for oil and gas pipelines.

[skimbell]

There are no “rising sea levels”.

[MayflowerMadam]

LOL!

Somebody better tell Obozo...

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve always considered towns in “blue states” as being Zombie Towns and “rising sea levels” have nothing to do with it.
