CBS Sunday Morning 
A new NASA report says sea levels along U.S. coastlines are expected to rise as much as 12 inches by 2050, and by the end of the century 13 million Americans could be displaced and $1 trillion worth of property inundated. Correspondent Ben Tracy looks at how residents of North Carolina’s Barrier Islands, Galveston, Texas, and Pacifica, Calif., are grappling with changing coastlines, engaged in a battle that Mother Nature is winning.

"Yes Seal level has changed in our past", ya, when homes, businesses, infrastructure and farmland would not have been impacted. We were hunter gatherers. What a moronic comment.
Climate change has nothing to do with auto exhaust or emissions. There has been a substantial increase in seismic and volcanic activity over the last hundred years. This has increased the temperature of the land, sea, and air. The weather is most likely changing back to what it was 2,000 years ago. When the Romans were in Britain (40BC-380AD) they grew citrus fruit in the north. Look up "Roman Warm Period" and "Medieval Warm Period" online. It appears that there is a major change every 1,000 years and that is where we are today. Periodic change in the heat, light, and radiation created by the sun affects the earth both above and below and is the cause of the global warming we are experiencing.
Climate change. Not fossil fuels.
POLE SHIFT !
Happens every 6 – 10 thousand years.
That's what happened to all civilizations we are confused about.
Lots of info out here. No proof on fossil fuels. Just assumptions and guesses.
We are all going to die,sooner than later.
Funny thing that Obama doesn't seem to mind, 19 million property there on Martha's Vineyard. As an aside, he is having a 2500 gallon propane tank installed, wait, no solar panels?
It's called erosion lol are you people serious?
dam, better cut more trees and not plant new ones because no time. the world is ending due to no trees.
It's going to be more than a foot in 30 years..And much more than $1 trillion.
2050? It will happen before that.
Geologic evidence and proxy data suggest that the earth has been significantly warmer and has had higher CO2 levels in the past, and all sorts of life thrived. This, of course, was before the global flood a few thousand years ago which radically changed the geography and climate of the planet. But there is also evidence to suggest parts of the earth were warmer after the flood than they are today. In fact, historical records indicate there were several warm periods including the medieval warm period (MWP) between AD 300 and 1900 in which people were able to farm in Greenland—an area currently covered in ice.
Warmer temperatures can extend growing seasons, which allows for increased agricultural production. Cooler temperatures can cripple agricultural production as evidenced by the “little ice age” that occurred in 1400 shortly after the MWP. During the “little ice age,” the Thames River in London froze over and much of Britain experienced food shortages.
Brilliant cap all volcanoes in the world
A huge part of the solution is remote work. Way too many of sit in cars stuck on highways just because the boss doesn't know your job well enough to know how much time a task takes. That means no more incompetent managers.
This is erosion and weather. There is no climate emergency. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past.
Its bizarre what the authorities can find money for ..fu homeless people !
did you know !!! this is the effect of the NUCLEAR TEST !!!
a foot in 7 years that a joke he only said that so he can get money for study job security build next to the sea and it will take you yep there is no climate change that a fact oh but CBS wants to make WEF happy
Erosions been happening for billions plus years.
stop blaming more on human activity.
Wet bulb conditions will spell the end of southeast coast lines. Trying to mitigate at this point is delusional.
These people thing they will be saved from whats about to happen. None of this will save them. they should repent fore their sins and the sins of their fathers.
I'm retired, and have not seen the things they talk about in this video. Storms are NOT more frequent or stronger, and the water level on the dock is what it was 40 years ago. We are not losing any beach either. Weather events are the same as they have always been. I can't relate to anything in this video.
The world has always been working locally, but the issue is Global, stop emissions into the atmosphere RIGHT NOW, do not once again DO NOT touch the trees, just give time for the earth to heal itself. Just rebuilding will not help, water knows no boundaries, it is a huge weight to deal with, we will be Nothing literally nothing in front of the force of water. Managed rebuilding is not what we need, we need to completely stop emissions and air pollution wherever it happens on the entire planet, that's the best grassroots approach and policy required to be enforced, this problem cannot be handled locally, it's a global catastrophe and needs businesses and leadership and all countries to unite on a single platform for one goal "AVOID HUMAN EXTINCTION"

It's economics. Tourists go to coastal states to visit beaches. Many states depend on that revenue. That's why structures are built on sand, close to the beach.
Not "climate change" but normal variations in storm activity and coastal erosion. Oceans rising about 2.5mm per year last 160 years. CO2, a minor greenhouse gas, has nothing to do with any of this. You do not decide to build a house by the ocean, based on the CO2 PPM, but common sense about geological and weather conditions common to the area in question. Typical liberal arrogance and ignorance, too stupid to be embarrassed for themselves. The media repeating the same nonsense.
Actual statistical data shows there have not been more storms and no they have not been more intense. I am referring to hurricanes.
I started to watch this, but then seeing all the efforts the Red states are making to avoid the consequences of their denial of climate change just made me angry. Like the guy said, you can't engineer your way out of this.
Yes Yes, let's splash a bit of sand around and make a gate. That will resolve the problem.
Coastlines are ALWAYS CHANGING you brainless numbskulls !!
THE PLANET IS MORE ALIVE THAN YOU ARE!

NOAA's sea level website shows the Cape Hatteras sea level is predicted to rise 1.13 feet in the next 100 years. So sea level rise is not expected to be a big factor during this man's lifetime. What is causing the shoreline erosion, though? This needs to be understood, because erosion may be linked to factors other than sea level rise as a driving factor. The sea level rise has been constant for 70 years, but this video makes rapid coastline erosion seem to be a recent event. Does anyone search for understanding, before running such videos? Just wondering.
Those homeowners should all be charged to clean up the mess for wanting to live so close to the beach or go to prison, no ifs, ands, or buts. And stop blaming everything on climate change for problems they put themselves into.
Sandbars come and sandbars go
muricans could learn something from Danes and Dutch people who deals with these issues and have dealt with them for a hundred years.
Billions being spent to fight back the ocean??? So people can keep living by the beach? First, mother nature wins…she always wins. Second, would not the money best be spent on relocation….i.e. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!
Got to love the propaganda
Let the kids worry about it? Did he say that out loud?
bye Neanderthals, afro world time
your time is up
the Neanderthal race
The Gulf coast land is sinking. The real data shows that sea level rise has not accelerated. Cliff erosion when storms arrive happens all over the world.
I would sell if possible, take a loss if I can't, and pack up and leave ASAP! Life is priceless!
And yet Global Warming alarmists like Obama, Gates, Biden, and so many others own or are buying mansions next to the ocean beaches. So are the oceans going to rise or not?
"Sea level is changing at a rate we haven't seen before."
Utter BS; tidal gauges around the world suggest otherwise. What's actually occurring in some places is that the ground is sinking (or rising), and that at places gives the appearance of sea level change. Sea levels have been rising for tens of thousands of years at a steady level, and continue to do so.
nc outer banks are migratory islands. they move around
I am not cleaning up other peoples mess. CBS can go to China and clean it up.
Climate change is a hoax.
This video contains the UN Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming. The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution.
Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.
Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.
The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.
Why did Obama and Biden and Al Gore buy ocean front property? If this were true, no bank would have given s mortgage on said land…
Soon even the rich will be living in vans and RVs.
Why not spend money on REDUCING carbon emissions??? IDK
Your towns will burn because you wont build damns to hold water. Your exsperts worry about co2 rising co2 puts out fires and is a bi product of fires your fires will egual the out put of all cars … and they have water in the radiator you have no water in your fire hydrants
