Climate Adaptation in Texas
Here’s an interesting article from the Texas Tribune about climate adaptation to protect Galveston and Houston. Climate change is not explicitly mentioned, but sea level rise and warming oceans are.

Unfortunately, many of my friends and coworkers were not so lucky. They had damage ranging from a few inches of water in their garage, submerged cars and trucks, a few inches in their house, to having the entire first floor under water.
