As glaciers and ice sheets continue to melt and more heat is trapped in the ocean, causing it to expand, sea-level rise will exacerbate a more mundane problem for those who live in coastal areas: so-called “sunny-day” flooding. Every local and state official with a coastline should be deeply concerned about this.” .
