Rising sea levels caused by climate change may drive U.S. coastal residents to areas far from the seaboard, not just to adjacent inland regions, according to a study published online in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Even landlocked states such as Arizona and Wyoming could see significant increases in population because of coastal migration by 2100, and may be unprepared to handle the surge, said the analysis from a University of Georgia researcher.

"We typically think about sea-level rise as being a coastal challenge or a coastal issue," Mathew Hauer, author of the study and head of the Applied Demography program at the University of Georgia, said in an interview on Tuesday. "But if people have to move, they go somewhere."

1. republicans will just deny it is happening....as they are now.

2. Migration due to lack of water as well..just need to look at

what is happening now in Syria and sudan..and many other places..can't farm, no water - need to move..where to? - more urban areas - thus migration, and thus isolationism...

Too much water, not enough..but there is no climate change....why can't intelligent people get elected?

3. The west has been fighting

water wars for over a century so, when they show up and there's no water... And getting rid of the EPA and regulatory curbs on mining, grazing of public lands and forest harvest, good luck finding clean water... even near the headwaters of your favorite river or stream.
