When I think of areas of the world affected by climate change most acutely, I think about Pacific island nations, low lying nations like Bangladesh, and the polar ice caps.
But an eye opening article in the Washington Post this week focuses much closer to home: Norfolk, Va., the second largest city in the Commonwealth. Residents already contend with regular flooding, car brakes have to be replaced due to saltwater damage, and the mayor openly discusses whether parts of the city will need to be abandoned ultimately. Scary stuff.
