How Rising Seas Threaten Coastal Communities Like Parts Of San Francisco

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses how the Pacifica neighborhood in San Francisco is at risk of being wiped out by rising sea levels. Parts of the area are expected to collapse into the bay within a few years. While building sea walls could help, the costs and uncertain effectiveness leave relocation as the most likely solution. The situation mirrors similar issues on the East Coast, like in North Carolina, where homes have fallen into the ocean. The challenge is not just losing these homes but finding alternative places for displaced residents to live.
