On the Waterfront
Life along the coast is changing. Are people adapting fast enough?
Levi Draheim, 10, is suing the US government over climate change with 20 other young people.
Also: fishermen in Greenland are doing better than ever, and that’s in part thanks to climate change; instead of fighting global competition, Alaska's wild salmon industry (reluctantly) embraces it; a researcher imagines what the US would look like if sea levels were to rise by two meters; solar power entrepreneurs come to Puerto Rico; plus what it’s like to fly in a plane when most of the passengers are pets.
