On Shismaref Island in Alaska, homes are being washed into the sea. In the South Pacific, small island nations face annihilation by encroaching waters. For these communities, sea level rise isn't a distant, abstract fear: it's happening now and it's threatening their way of life. This title warns that many other coastal areas may be close behind.
