• For 6,000 years sea level has changed little. Now it it has started rising again, moving the shoreline too. John Englander explains:

* The science behind sea level rise, plus the myths and partial truths used to confuse the issue.

* The surprising forces that will cause sea level to rise for 1,000 years, as well as the possibility of catastrophic rise this century.

* Why the devastating economic effects will not be limited to the coasts.

* Why coastal property values will go “underwater” long before the land does, perhaps as early as this decade.

* Five points of “intelligent adaptation” that can help individuals, businesses, and communities protect investments now and in the future.
