Climate change has arrived, says Newsweek science correspondent Sharon Begley, and the good ol' U.S. of A. has more or less been caught with its pants down, preparations-wise.

Only 15 states have completed or even started a plan to cope with climate change, which will bring profound changes over the next 20 to 30 years, including:

Washing out iconic Pacific Coast Highway 1, unless it’s rerouted (possibly through a mountain for safety)

Eating up 580 miles a year of beach in the Chesapeake Bay

Overwhelming city storm sewers with extreme flooding

Destroying some states’ cash-cow products, like citrus in California and maple syrup in Vermont
