Permanently Temporary: Living with Rising Seas

The reality of permanent change along the shoreline is starting to slowly sink in.

And now cities are grappling with how to build roads, airports and other infrastructure for a very uncertain future. How fast and how high will the tides rise? No one knows for sure but every new forecast tends to be faster and higher than scientists predicted just a few years ago.
