Build a high-impact mission-driven business inside our climate science nonprofit, from the ground up. Our new Director of Enterprise position is vitally important to me personally and Climate Central as an organization. …https://t.co/IZauMdPl77 https://t.co/PtSCir84hI

@FredKrupp @ClimateCentral Thanks @FredKrupp ! I can still remember when you came to cut the ribbon at the opening of the college student environmental center I spent a summer scraping, painting and stocking!

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@ChristopherNFox @ClimateCentral Thanks, @ChristopherNFox ! It's been great to have you as part of the journey from way back when!

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@HeidiCullen @ClimateCentral @MBARI_News Heidi, warmest wishes for your next chapter. We're lucky to keep you as our Chief Science Advisor, but will miss you in the day-to-day!

@afreedma @ClimateCentral CERA simulation of NHC advisory 38 has slightly reduced levels, 10-12 ft above mean sea level, or around 9-11 ft above high tide line.

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@afreedma @ClimateCentral this is based on NHC Advisory 37 track and CERA storm surge projection using top model. It is ahead of where NOAA is. Please check next time

@realDonaldTrump legacy: will you shrink America or fight climate change & higher seas? To fight helps your agenda. https://t.co/5x8XnGQOUQ

Thanks so much to @WBEZ for hosting #HOTM and @SamEBNHPR for chatting along with me. And thanks for your questions.

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@mhertz however, recent Antarctic research falls in between old consensus and Hansen's dire projections. Closer to former. #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@mhertz Hansen's projections are provocative, we must consider, but far far outside of mainstream sea level science #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

States with most people at risk from sea level rise (below 5 ft), in order: FL, CA, NY, NJ, MA #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@SamEBNHPR @yang85225 Note that no official FEMA flood maps yet take projected sea level rise into account #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

these are projected sea levels by end of the century. #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

@yang85225 I think Sam has a good answer for that one. #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

Recent science consensus: about 3 ft, if we keep polluting, 2 if we stop. But new research suggests 6 ft or 2 ft as the choice. #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

While you are thinking of questions, another important development #HOTM

[Benjamin Strauss @ben_strauss]

A5: 1 ft of sea level rise = a very big deal in places that rarely see more than 1 ft in tides or storms: it doubles the height! #HOTM
