BOSTON—Oh boy: "At unchecked pollution levels, all of the Fenway, the South End, and the Seaport District, as well as parts of Dorchester, South Boston, and downtown—save for a small island near the Common—will be underwater by 2100. Even with extreme carbon cuts, we'd only be able to save a tiny portion of downtown, the Fenway, Fort Point, and Southie." [Daily]
