Climate changes everything, including the world's shorelines.

With the melting of Antarctica's ice and the Greenland ice sheet, projections for the

seas to rise dramatically and quickly are increasing.

How is this impacting our coastline?

Welcome to Climate One, changing the conversation about energy, economy, and the environment.

Climate One conversations are recorded before a live audience and hosted by Greg Dalton. I'm Claire Shone.

Watching the news about rising seas due to climate change and the flooding that follows

makes us wonder, where will it stop? The problem is there is no upper limit to sea level rise.

So it's very overwhelming to think that there's no end to the rise in the tide.

You know, that it's not six feet, it's not five feet, it's not four feet, it's into perpetuity,

just change in chaos and big storms. That's Elaine Forbes, Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco.

She talked with our host, Greg Dalton, at a recent Climate One event.

Finding solutions to an ever-rising tide requires us to face thorny questions,

like, what is this going to cost? Who's going to pick up the tab?

And who will be the winners and losers?

What folks refer to as disadvantaged communities

or low-income communities of color.

They have been subjugated to the disproportionate environmental burdens of development.

And they're mostly along the waterfront, they're closest to the waterfront. Naha Goghai is Bay Area Program Lead with the Environmental Justice Coalition for Water.

She joined Greg's conversation, as did Larry Goldsbad, the executive director of BCDC, the Bay Conservation and Development

Commission, which is a state agency responsible for protecting the Bay's coastline.

Here's Greg and his guests.
