Rising Sea Levels Worldwide Part 2 – John Englander 797

 In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses with John Englander, geologist and oceans expert, author of Rising Tide on Main Street, all the sensible, realistic ways that humans can practice transition management: by mitigating and adapting to rising sea levels.  The world’s oceans will continue their steady rise – even if fossil fuel burning were to cease immediately.  The long-term processes set in motion by rising global temperatures, melting glaciers and polar ice sheets are altering risk-analyses models in finance, insurance and business.  Transition management strategies and options are discussed, from changing real estate values; building codes; reinforcing urban infrastructure; siting of essential transport and communications networks, as well as how investments will be affected and where new opportunities lie in shifting beyond fossil fuels to low-carbon, cleaner green economies.
