Oceans Rising


Download audio (MP3)

Sea levels may rise twice as much by the end of this century than was previously predicted. That's according to an announcement last week by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Also last week, the Oakland-based Pacific Institute released a study finding that hundreds of thousands of people and billions of dollars of California infrastructure and property will be at risk if ocean levels rise 55 inches. What should we do to prepare?

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Craig Miller, senior editor of KQED's Climate Watch
  • Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, a non-partisan research institute on the environment and social equity
  • Will Travis, executive director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission
