Experts assure the worst case scenario on the coasts.

High-tide flooding is not a problem of the future, it is already a reality, in many American cities along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The national oceanic and atmospheric administration better known by its acronym in English NOAA reported a total of more than 600 floods of this type only in the year 2019, however, things could get worse, the advance warning from NASA is that The mid-1930s will begin a ten-year period of dramatic increases in the number of floods.

And these are the conclusions of the first study that takes into account all the known oceanic and astronomical factors that affect floods, the study was led by members of the scientific team on sea level change from NASA at the University of Hawaii And this new study shows that high tides will exceed known flood thresholds across the United States and with increasing frequency. Also floods will sometimes occur in groups that will last a month or more depending on the positions of the moon, the earth and the sun, this is because when the moon and the earth align in a specific way with each other and both with the sun, the resulting gravitational pull and its effect on the ocean can leave city dwellers facing floods every day.,

Although the data refer to the United States, this will be a global phenomenon, a study carried out by more than 100 experts and published in May 2020 in the journal Climate and Atmospheric Science warned that about 10 percent of the world's population, about 770 Millions of people live less than 5 meters above the sea line, these people and the localities they inhabit are the main affected by the progressive rise in the water level, which this team of scientists calculates would be 1.3 meters in 2100. Although it could be much worse if a massive thaw of Antarctica and Greenland occurs, according to NASA Administrator “Bill” Nelson said that “low-lying areas near sea level are increasingly at risk and suffer from rising of the floods and it is something that will worsen the combination of the gravitational pull of the moon and the rise in sea level due to climate change, the coastal flooding on our coastline and around the world will continue to worsen, the nasa's sea is providing crucial information so that we can protect and prevent damage to the environment and the livelihoods of people affected by the floods, ”stated the NASA administrator.
