Moon’s wobble and climate change will cause coastal flooding in US: NASA study

In the mid-2030s, many coastal cities in the United States will experience an increase in high-tide floods, notes a new study by NASA researchers. The team writes that a lunar wobble will amplify the rising sea levels caused by the ongoing climate change.

Several US coastal cities have already witnessed high-tide floods, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reporting over 600 such floods in 2019.
