Gardens beneath the bay: The existential threat of rising sea levels

As more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and the planet heats, warmed waters are expanding and glaciers are melting, raising the level at which the sea meets the land at an alarming rate. Rising sea levels pose an existential threat to low-lying Singapore, and other island nations. Joining the Eco-Business Podcast is climate scientist Professor Benjamin Horton, who has studied sea-level rise for more than 25 years. He is now director of Earth Observatory of Singapore, a research institute that studies the impacts of climate change in and around Southeast Asia. Tune in as we talk about: The region in most danger from sea-level rise How quickly are the waters rising? What if Greenland and Antarctica melted? The best defences against sea-level rise Using nature to keep the waters at bay Sea-level leaders and laggards The US presidential elections and climate science Where's the safest place to live in the future?
