Moving to Higher Ground

Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward

A MAJOR NEW BOOK ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE

In this fascinating new work, discover the plain truth about climate change and Sea Level Rise (SLR). Facts without political spin.

In reality, there are no quick fixes and no permanent solutions for climate change and SLR in sight. Going to zero C02 emissions will not stop the problems, or solve them.

Simply, permanent climate change and unstoppable SLR are here to stay.  In this amazing new work by best-selling author and oceanographer John Englander, discover how greenhouse gases have trapped more heat on Earth, how the extra heat is stored in the ocean, and how this excess heat is the driving force behind severe weather, climate change, and rising seas.

Plus find out hot that same excess heat is melting the great ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica at rates never seen in recorded history.  And accelerating.

The truth?  We have no way to cool the oceans.  The excess heat will stay with us for centuries.  We must accept the new reality, and plan for the future.  Read Moving to Higher Ground and find there is a path forward.

Why Read Moving to Higher Ground?

 

  • Learn how Sea Level Rise (SLR) is unstoppable for many centuries due to excess heat already stored in our oceans – and how soon our shorelines will go underwater.
  • Understand how disastrous SLR will profoundly affect more than 10,000 coastal communities as soon as 2050, both in the U.S and around the world.
  • What will happen where you live? How much will the water rise? And when?
  • Find out why extreme weather events, forest fires, and flooding share the same causes as catastrophic SLR, but weather disruptions are temporary and SLR permanent. Devastatingly so.
  • Discover what industries and properties will feel the greatest, and earliest, impacts. Learn what all planners and coastal property owners need to know now to urgently begin to move and adapt.
  • Examine the unique problems faced by the military, Infrastructure planners, architects, flood managers, policy planners, banks, insurance companies, and real estate businesses. And some unique solutions.
  • Find out how and why government policy makers have been completely ineffective delivering any successful strategy for climate change and sea level rise.
  • Answer the questions, WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW? And what does THE PATH FORWARD look like?

Moving to Higher Ground, Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward is available through both book stores and online book sellers.

About the Author, John Englander John Englander, author of Moving To Higher Ground

John Englander is a renowned oceanographer, multi-book author, speaker, and expert on climate change and sea level rise. His 2012 book, High Tide on Main Street explained the science in easy-to-understand terms. Politico listed it as one of the top fifty books to read.

His broad marine science background, coupled with explorations in Greenland and Antarctica, allows him to see the big-picture impacts of changing climate and rising sea level on society. Millions of people in the US and around the world have read his books, or heard his message through blogs and popular talks.

Englander is consistently rated as one of the best speakers on climate change and sea level rise, and works tirelessly to help communities understand why sea level will rise far higher than most can imagine.  Quickly.

As a leading spokesperson for “intelligent adaptation”, John is the foremost advocate that, globally, we must move to higher ground.

Englander explains:

  • How high the sea could rise in the coming decades and the effects on assets and infrastructure

  • What you need to know to prepare and adapt for long-term sea level rise and short term flooding events

  • Why rising sea level and the massive adaptation required could be the greatest economic engine of this century
