Statista’s Chart of the Day:

“According to new research published by scientific magazine Nature Communications, 200 million people in the world will live below the sea level line by 2100. An additional 160 million will be affected by higher annual flooding due to rising ocean levels. These numbers are much higher than those published in previous studies, which used different costal elevation models and assumed that only 250 million people in total would be affected by these adverse events.” See details here.

SUNSCREEN BANS TARGETED: The House Local, Federal & Veterans Affairs Subcommittee will consider a bill (HB 113), filed by Rep.
