As sea levels rise and storms intensify, coastal real estate is seeing flooding and erosion like never before, and it's impacting home values.

    Saw fake news clip on spytube… Really puts in perspetive who they shill for.

    As others have said… Oh no anyway. It’s called risk and these big brain elites shoulda known about it. Why are they truing to socialize their losses from their bad decisions. We already spend so much money to allow for these beach homes to exit IMHO

    A Nantucket home listed last summer for just over $2 million sold early this year for just $600,000. A barely remarkable Nor’easter in the fall wiped away an astounding 70 feet of the beach it sits on, thanks to sea level rise and unusually intense rainfall.

    The buyer told The Boston Globe, “the price mitigates the risk to a good degree.”

    I guess these houses are not insurable, so there are people for whom losing a $600,000 house is just “oh well, it was fun while it lasted.” Or maybe when the sea reaches the back door this guy will be able to sell it to someone with the same attitude and $200,000.

      Yeah, there are people wealthy enough that they’re ok paying something like that for what is essentially a rental.

    Let’s ban talking about climate change. That surely will fix the problem.

    It’s not all bad. Lake Erie has been experiencing record high water levels that are eroding the shore. In a suburb east of Cleveland private property owners along the lake have agreed to let the local government build a paved trail on their property as it includes a boulder wall to prevent erosion. So far it’s not long enough for a commuter trail but it improves access to the lake. Hopefully one day it will follow the shoreline all the way into downtown Cleveland.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
