Before I get started let me remind you, long range forecasts are like ticking time bombs, they can blow up at anytime as the atmosphere can swing into unexpected modes. I know this: we are in an extreme weather cycle that will last through our lifetime and beyond. The globe is in a blow-torch state, with the warming of our oceans and atmosphere continuing to lead to unprecedented superstorms. Expansion and rising sea levels will ultimately lead to reconfigurations of our coast lines.
