When Global Warming Hits Home (Literally)
In
a recent PBS documentary, the mayor of Norfolk, Virginia, Paul Fraim,
talks about how flooding has become a monthly occurrence in his town,
and how global warming and sea level rise are as much a daily issue for
him as education and fighting crime. In some parts of Norfolk, streets
turn into rivers at high tide. Homes are flooded five out of six years.
People lose their carpets, their appliances, their savings. And they
can't afford to move elsewhere.
