The long term outlook for waterfront cities in the Northeast ain’t good- that’s the gist of this science story. Besides major flooding issues in Boston and Atlantic City, New York will see catastrophic floods every ten years.
Northeastern ski resorts are already completely reliant on snowmaking technology which has increased the minimum temperature required for making snow in response to average temperature increases. Even an incremental increase in average temps can mean a lot less snow since the majority of natural snowfall occurs just below freezing because humidity is typically higher than at lower temperatures. This is not the case in western resorts where altitude is a major factor.
Europe is becoming the largest buyer of snowmaking equipment as snowfall zones move up the mountains, often stranding lower altitude lifts in the process.
The article notes that an increase in fuel efficiency requirements to 35 MPG would save US consumers $65 billion annually while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

BTW, Washington, DC is probably the city in the worst position should a major storm hit. It lies near sea level in what was an estuary of the Chesapeake. Last year the Mall was flooded. This will happen more frequently, hopefully reminding the politicians that this global warming stuff is real.
