Storm Hermine's damage fueled by global warming, scientists say 
<https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/04/storm-hermine-damage-global-warming>*

    Storm surges pushed by Hermine, the once and future hurricane that
    on Sunday was moving up the US eastern seaboard, could be even more
    damaging because sea levels have risen by a foot due to global
    warming, climate scientists say.
    Michael Mann of the Pennsylvania State University noted that this
    century's one-foot sea-level rise in New York City meant 25 more
    square miles flooded during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, causing
    billions more in damage..."We are already experiencing more and more
    flooding due to climate change in every storm," said Michael
    Oppenheimer, a geosciences professor at Princeton University. "And
    it’s only the beginning."

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuZcx2zEo4k On September 3, the
    Dakota Access pipeline company attacked Native Americans with dogs
    and pepper spray as they protested against the $3.8 billion
    pipeline's construction. If completed, the pipeline would carry
    about 500,000 barrels of crude per day from North Dakota's Bakken
    oilfield to Illinois. The project has faced months of resistance
    from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and members of nearly 100 more
    tribes from across the U.S. and Canada.

*Global warming is melting the Greenland Ice Sheet, fast 
<https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2016/aug/25/global-warming-is-melting-the-greenland-ice-sheet-fast>*

    The Greenland Ice Sheet is losing 110 million Olympic size swimming
    pools worth of water each year. ... It is this last type of ice loss
    that most affects ocean levels because as the water runs into the
    oceans, it raises sea levels. This is in contrast to melting sea ice
    – since it is already floating in ocean waters, its potential to
    raise ocean levels is very small....the western side of the ice
    sheet is losing much more ice than the eastern side. They also found
    that a small part of the ice sheet (less than 1% of the sheet) is
    responsible for more than 10% of the mass loss....To put this in
    perspective, the Greenland Ice Sheet is losing approximately 110
    million Olympic size swimming pools worth of water each year.
