This Q&A [1] with the New Yorker's Elizabeth Kolbert is a year old, but well worth reading. Kolbert wrote a definitive three-part article [2] on climate change last year and has a book coming out, supposedly this March. Her most recent New Yorker contribution [3] also touches on the effects of climate change, though it dwells primarily on the sorry future facing Louisiana, which is sinking into the sea.
For more of the same, have a look at this post [4]. It seems North Carolina is also at risk.
