More than just Thousand Islands
The 1,864 islands range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are only home to migratory waterfowl. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.

Which cities pay more for climatic changes
If sea levels rose just 16 inches (40 centimeters) by 2050, the flood damage in port cities could cost a trillion dollars a year.Explore this map to see which cities in the world are most vulnerable—and which stand to gain or lose the most cash.
This study conducted by National Geographic Magazine. Following map shows economic lose of major cities across the world.It is supposed that cities will continue to build protective constructions which grab lot of money from governments or people's pockets.
1- Lowland coastal cities will suffer more
2- South and Southeastern part of Asia will suffer highest lose, financially and physically. Most of this area have a very low elevation from the adjacent ocean.
3-Most vulnerable areas are populous areas with lots of economic activities.
4- Eastern part of the USA (from New York to Miami) has the highest concentration of people, industries and big modern ports which serves not only the US but also rest of the world.
5- Africa and Australia as old and elevated continents show less damage comparing to other continents.One exemption is low land of Nile delta which hosted Alexandria and Port Said (elevation 5m and 3m respectively).

A Monster Snow Storm Hits The U.S

Current cloud system in North America NOAA, Earth Google |
While here in Canada (January 26, 2015) a very cold and high pressure system has predominated (temperature minus 12 to 14 Celsius in southern Ontario), our coastal neighborhood experiencing a very severe snow storm with high winds. It is expected that 30 to 90 centimeter of snow will fall on Northeastern territory of the U.S. Worm and moist air of Atlantic ocean plays a major role in severeness of snow.Wind speed depends of closeness and strength of high and low air pressure. Closer and higher difference between these two pressures systems result in winds to pick up their speed in direction of low pressure.Strong low pressure has been formed in Atlantic coastal area of the United States. At the same time a high pressure hanging around eastern part of Canada not too far from Atlantic ocean.This high pressure sending strong wind to the north east of the US, where a very low system is waiting to attracts wind and moisture to form a windy, cloudy sky. Winds blow toward the center of low pressure. As a result, wind from Atlantic ocean hits the coastal areas while trying to spin around the low pressure center.
