A National Ocean Service tide station at Calcasieu Pass, Louisiana observed a water level rise of 9 feet mean high water.
Active season
There have so far been 13 named storms this season.
(...) But we do expect to see more powerful storms in future as a result of global warming. That's because storms feed on warm water, and higher water temperatures also lead to sea-level rise, which in turn increases the risk of flooding during high tides and in the event of storm surges. (...) Storm size responses to anthropogenic warming are uncertain.
The global proportion of tropical cyclones that reach very intense (Category 4 and 5) levels will likely increase due to anthropogenic warming over the next century.

(...) In warmer ocean waters, the mixing between water layers is reduced, and with it the supply of oxygen and nutrients for marine life. (...) Sea level rise is due to meltwater from glaciers, the expansion of warmer sea waters and to growing water inputs from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.

The reasons for this process are mainly the emissions of the so called “Greenhouse Gases”
(GHG)1)
and the accumulation of these gases in the atmosphere with the effect that infrared radiation remains in it and warms up the lower layers of the atmosphere, ground and water.
(...) Therefore, we have to face the challenge to find a solution for this condition caused by us.

Global Warming as a Risk.
Our society and therefore our economy has been developed “around”
the current climate. (...) Some concrete global consequences:
Increase of arid regions in the World, acceleration of desertification (deterioration of food and water situation)
Decrease of biodiversity (irretrievably lost of species)
Increase of seasonal thaw of Arctic permafrost (damaging infrastructure and higher methane emissions (methane has a higher intensity than CO2
)
Acceleration of melting process of Arctic and Antarctic ice and tropical glaciers (rise sea level and drinking water scarcity)
Sea-level rise (increasing coastal inundation, damage to infrastructure)
Unusual strong whether related catastrophes (cities and crops will be affected)
Global Warming is manageable!

Climate change and extreme weather
The occurrence of extreme events is unprecedented in the observed record and will increase with increasing global warming, according to the Sixth Assessment report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Every bit of warming matters.
It says that “human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe. (...) Climate change also plays out through the water cycle - a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture.
