According to data, Wilmington DE, like the rest of the East Coast, is in for a world of hurt due to climate change. Sea level rise is a major problem for a state like Delaware. The entire state's elevation is low so any rise would have major impacts for civilization and environment. 

Agriculture will be greatly affected by both temperature and sea level rise. The change in climate will shorten the crop season and sea level rise will reduce the amount of suitable cropland in the state.
