When it comes to hurricanes in the U.S., large-scale trends are **t in our favor. In fact, unless action is taken to curb both global warming and coastal development, the American eco**my may be set to take a perilous bashing from stronger storms, rising seas and too much high value, high-risk property lying in harms' way.*

By the end of the century, a hurricane that strikes the eastern United States could cause up to three times more eco**mic damage than a hurricane that strikes today, climate researchers warn in a new study (http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/11/8/084012#erlaa3666f1).
