A new climate assessment for the Palmetto State shows no increase in heatwaves, hurricanes, heavy rain, or drought, Sinking land, not warming seas, is the real driver of Charleston area flooding
SCHAUMBURG, IL — The climate of South Carolina is not in crisis, and in fact has barely changed in more than a century according to a new climate assessment for the state published by The Heartland Institute at ClimateAtAGlance.com.
The Palmetto State has warmed about 1°F since 1900, and that modest change has not brought the surge in heatwaves, hurricanes, heavy rain, or drought that many news stories assume comes with it.

WASHINGTON – Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center predict a life-threatening storm surge and flash flooding could occur along portions of North and South Carolina with Hurricane Florence’s landfall.
Several mandatory and voluntary evacuation orders were ordered Monday and Tuesday along the east coast.
“If you are told to evacuate and do not do so, you need to realize you are putting your life in danger,” said FEMA Administrator Brock Long. “This storm is not to be taken lightly.
