Sea level rise is accelerating around the globe, likely to displace millions of people who live in coastal communities. Forecasts show between 3 and 6 feet of rise by the end of the century, or potentially more, depending on how much heat-trapping pollution humans emit.

We’ve heard that story before.

Right now, I’d be happy with a little global warming I wouldn’t mind longer growing seasons and lower hearing bills.
