As the eastern seaboard slowly drops lower each year, it is compounding the impacts of climate change in the U.S. Rising sea levels and severe weather events mean coastal cities will have to adapt or perhaps even be abandoned. How bad is it? Who is most at risk here, and most importantly, what can we do about it? Kenneth Miller, professor of earth and planetary sciences at Rutgers University, joins The Excerpt to dig into how sinking land mass could mean disaster for some parts of the world.
