The Water Will Come

Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World
Feb 07, 2018
The future is scarier than you thought and here's why: it starts today. Ironically, I read this book while on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. This book is compelling indeed. It isn't about climate change but more specifically about one effect of global warming --- sea level rising and the effects this will have on our planet and on those who live along the shores of its oceans. The consequences of sea level rising are not pretty: displaced populations; cities inundated and uninhabitable; countries drowned; productive agricultural land lost. Goodell has certainly thought out all the consequences of this unfolding calamity and they are wider than I had even imagined. It's too bad the climate-changing deniers probably wont read this or will tweet it off as false news. Too bad, too bad. A must read.
