Like its big brother, climate change, sea level rise is not only coming... it's already here. The oceans have gotten 8 inches higher today than they were in the year 1900, and they're getting higher, faster. Given that 40% of the United States population lives in coastal areas, not to mention major cities and a multitude of communities all around the world... well it seems like maybe this is a big deal.
And it's only going to become a bigger deal, depending on how much we slack off on curbing carbon emissions. We could be looking at another foot or 30 centimeters of sea level rise by 2100, or maybe by 2050. Or we could be looking at 9 feet by 2100. A lot depends on us, right now and every day moving forward. Find out how bad things could get, what could happen, and what we can do about it, on this episode of The Cliff's Edge.
