Climate change causes Tidal Basin flooding

The Washington Monument is reflected in the Tidal Basin as a bench sits in water at high tide. In 2005, coastal flooding was a rare event at the Basin, but climate change now causes daily flooding, posing a significant threat to the iconic cherry trees and other life.
