Rising Sea Levels Are Causing Homes in North Carolina’s Outer Banks to Collapse
Can't 'See' Sea Level Rise? You're Looking in the Wrong Place:
1. One of the scariest side effects of climate change is undeniably rising water levels — and unfortunately, it's already happening. While many parts of the world are experiencing massive floods, North Carolina's famous Outer Banks is experiencing such severe erosion, that houses are collapsing into the ocean.

2. Sea Level Rise puts Hundreds of Coastal Airports at Risk of Increasing Flood
Scientists have discovered that 269 airports are currently at risk of coastal flooding. A 2°C increase in temperature, consistent with the Paris Agreement, would result in 100 airports being below mean sea level and 364 airports being at risk of flooding. If the global mean temperature rise exceeds this, as many as 572 airports will be at risk by 2100, causing major disruptions if appropriate adaptation is not implemented. According to a new study, even a minor rise in sea level caused by rising global temperatures would place 100 airports below mean sea level by 2100.
