Tomorrow is closer than you think...
Step 2
Disruptions in sea currents
Mass destruction, habitat loss and casualties
Step 1
Step 3
Climatologists ignored
Super-storm develops
Our Oceans are Rising!
2 Main reasons:
1. Increase in atmospheric air temperatures - ice caps and glaciers to oceans
2. Simple chemistry - water expands as it warms
Ocean absorbs about 90% of the heat's atmosphere
The infamous industrial age
0.7 degrees in 100 years
10 times faster than ice age recovery warming
Ocean Conveyor Belt
How do we know that global sea levels are rising?
...measures tide heights against shoreline markers
Pros:
Cons:
...measure global seal levels from satellites
NASA does a great job of providing side by side imaging to highlight global changes

We have two options:
1. Surround the coasts with walls and wait for a catastrophic event to kill hundreds of millions
2. Retreat to higher ground
Slow climate change
