About 13million Coast Dwelling Americans Risks Being Washed Away!

 According to a study published on Monday, March 14, in the Nature Climate Change journal, residents of North Carolina’s Outer Banks barrier islands, Tyrrell County and up to 13.1 million coast-dwelling Americans: Miami-Dade and Broward counties in Florida may be at risk from encroaching seawater resulting from swelling ocean by 2100. 

This map shows how many people living in coastal counties may be at risk from sea-level rise by 2100. The estimates are based on a lower-end sea-level rise projection of 0.9 meter (3 feet).

To address this, some concerned citizens in the affected areas embarked on am enlightenment campaign on the inevitable situation, and to refresh the beaches by sand filling, which is renewable every 5 years. 

These question however comes to play:  How well is the 'politicized' Climate Change and Sea Level Rise campaign doing in these area?
