A quick synopsis of Norfolk's problems and the impact on the nation as a whole, this article does a good job of showing the worst-case scenario with all three factors at their scariest levels: subsidence, storm surge, and sea-level rise. It's main point: Norfolk is slowly becoming more and more susceptible to storm surge (the real threat).
A touch of neener-neener politics..., makes me wonder how the right would report this. Would they call it a committee on frequent flooding rather than sea level rise?
