River and lake communities where catastrophic flooding happens almost every year, rather than every few generations.  This, scientists warn, is the future of the Midwest if emissions continue at a high rate, threatening the very core of the region’s identity.”  This story is about cities that are looking for ways to adapt.

Ten years later on, a review of the Climategate episode and the damage it inflicted.

Occurrences of heavy rainfall and heatwaves have also increased dramatically. The world has continued to heat up dangerously. Yet humanity has done very little to tackle the crisis.  And that raises a critical question: did Climategate play a role in this failure to act?”  Some expert opinions are given.
