Show Notes
South Carolinas coastline, a major economic driver, is threatened by rising sea levels due to climate change. Myrtle Beach and Charleston, key tourist destinations and ports, face potential disappearance without action. Flooding in Charleston has increased from 4 hours a year in 1950 to 49 minor events annually, with projections showing 60 flood days per year by 2051. This is due to warmer oceans, melting ice, and land subsidence. The impacts include disruptions to tourism and ports, increased insurance costs, and potential relocation for homeowners. Local groups are implementing nature-based solutions, but stronger policies are needed to address emission cuts and protect this vital economic asset.
