All the people underwater

Climate change is one of those things that can be so invisible, and in some cases so subtle, that it can be hard to conceptualize. Over the years, our work with Climate Central has sought to make one symptom of this looming problem – sea level rise – much easier to see. The maps we've made together reveal what's lost as water makes its way upon our shores, rather than the mass of land that's left behind. Our most recent work with them, in partnership with New America Media, shows us very clearly what we'd lose in California: the homes of hundreds of thousands of people.
