Detailed
impacts, however, will vary strongly from
region to
region and
coast to
coast and therefore can not be easily generalized, as changing mean and extreme coastal water levels depend on a combination of near shore and offshore processes, related to climatic but also non-climatic anthropogenic factors, such as natural land movement arising from tectonics, volcanism or compaction; land subsidence due to anthropogenic extraction of underground resources; and changes in coastal morphology resulting from sediment transport induced by natural and / or anthropogenic factors.

«The authors write that «the Mediterranean
region is one of the world's most vulnerable areas with respect to global warming,»... they thus consider it to be extremely important to determine what
impact further temperature increases might have on the storminess of the
region... produced a high - resolution record of paleostorm events along the French Mediterranean
coast over the past 7000 years... from the sediment bed of Pierre Blanche Lagoon [near Montpellier, France]... nine French scientists, as they describe it, «recorded seven periods of increased storm activity at 6300 - 6100, 5650 - 5400, 4400 - 4050, 3650 - 3200, 2800 - 2600, 1950 - 1400, and 400 - 50 cal yr BP,» the latter of which intervals they associate with the Little Ice Age.
The result is that coastal flooding conditions will tend to follow a worsening trend — with the most vulnerable
regions like the U.S. Gulf and East

The energy system is both a source of emissions that lead to global warming and it can also be directly affected by climate change: through changes in our energy consumption patterns, potential shutdowns of offshore oil and gas production, changing ice and snow conditions in the oil production
regions of Alaska, changing sea ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the implications for shipping routes, and
impacts of sea - level rise on
coasts, where so much of our energy facility infrastructure is located.
