How high will the ocean rise under climate change? By 2050, scientists have a pretty good idea. But why does it matter where you live? And what can humans do to slow it down? This episode is part of Nature Quest, our monthly segment that brings you a question from a Short Waver who is noticing a change in the world around them. Our question comes from Peter Lansdale in Santa Cruz, Calif.  To see what future sea levels will look like where you live, check out NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer <a href="https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/#"target="_blank" >here</a>.
