Ask your average resident of California, Oregon or Washington to name the natural hazard that concerns them most and sea level rise probably won't bubble to the top of the list.

Far northern permafrost may unleash carbon within decades

Permafrost in the coldest northern Arctic - formerly thought to be at least temporarily shielded from global warming by its extreme environment - will thaw enough to become a permanent source of carbon to the atmosphere in this century, with the peak transition occurring in 40 to 60 years, according to a new NASA-led study.
