How Our Coastlines Will Change

If you saw the first version of this upload, no you didn’t...

I don't get people who get on Chuck. He is consistently funny. Very respectful, and doesn't constantly interject in an annoying manner like other comedians they have worked with. Some of those guys are nonstop, and the scientist can barely get a word in. Chuck usually interjects with well placed, well-timed humor. But the best thing about Chuck is, there are moments, where he really shows his intelligence outside of his quick whit, and either says things or sums things up very well.Just had to say that after seeing people disrespect him in other videos.

I love how Neil makes these topics fun and digestible... kudos Dr. Tyson and Lord Nice

Hats off to Chuck. Quick-witted and very funny. Great chemistry between the pair of you. From London 🇬🇧

I too didn’t appreciate Chuck at first. But I didn’t realize he was a comedian and have come to enjoy his humor. Sometimes he also adds some clarity to the technical discussions. Chuck is a pretty smart guy and pretty entertaining as well. I think Chuck is a good counterbalance to Neil.

Chuck Plus an Inch is a standard unit of measurement, thank you.

Chuck is the best comedians to appear on Startalk. He appropriates the amount of jokes to keep things interesting related to the topic and not make it about him. You’re the best Chuck 👍👍👍

My late uncle worked for NOAA, he went out on Navy ships (as a civilian) and mapped the ocean floors.

I live close to the glaciers in the Canadian Rockies. We're supposed to have a few hundred years of ice pack to stock our water supplies at current melt levels (see Columbia Glacier...which I have seen retreating all my life during family visits since I was 3). The retreat of the glacier is pretty dramatic. But, there are still hundreds of meters of ice up high. When flying to the coast, you can still see lots of white (and clear cuts). I don't know how much water that would equate to if all melted into the ocean. To the south in Montana, the Grinnell Glacier was pretty famous when I was a kid and now it is completely gone. The past few years have seen rainfall dwindle and we're expecting a crazy dry year. Farmers are bracing for drought. Our skies have turned red a few times with all the forest fires. Crossing my fingers for mother nature to be nice to us.

This is why I love you guys. Individually I knew all that but I've never really put it together in my head and really thought about it. Another great explainer!

I live 4 blocks from the ocean in Daytona Beach and have been here for 6 years now. When I moved here there was a very long sandy beach to cross before getting to the water. Now on most days there is no beach. The water goes all the way to the buildings retaining walls. All I'm gonna say is I'm happy I'm renting not owning.

In Tacoma,Wa. ,they just spent a lot of money ,moving the parking,bbq pits ,bathrooms, and concessions 30 ft. Up the hill due to water level rise. Point Defiance Park...Owen's beach.

I live in Wellington, New Zealand, but my house is in the suburbs of the hills 138m above. Just a few meters of sea level rise would swamp our entire central city, and storm surge would take care of the rest. Im sure it's the same elsewhere. That's MILLIONS of people displaced in a couple of generations.

Through a different lens, in the same time, but a different location… this video would be viewed as inappropriate. Much love to you both. Keep it going.

This was a very good episode. Also, whether you believe In climate change or not, the ocean water is rising. The scary thing about this event is it’s happening very quick now. There are some things going on that I thought wouldn’t happen for another 30 to 40 years but it’s happening now.

Florida. Newly wed or nearly dead. I watched jetties, and beaches disappear in a matter of a decade. I've seen the ocean meet the lagoon during numerous storms in Florida. I've been an avid climate watcher and weather observer for many decades. It has been heart breaking. Move the museum now.

Note that it's not just melting of land ice. It's also expansion of ocean water when it gets hotter.

I live in the house I grew up in North of Boston on the coast. My backyard never flooded when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s unless there was a massive storm. Now it juuuust peeks up the storm drain on an astronomical high tide, and floods 10-15 times per year with pretty run of the mill storms. Not a good trend and it’s really going to be a big economic problem, in addition to the ecological problem

To those of you trying to use the "ice cubes in a glass of water" analogy-- you obviously weren't paying attention. Re-watch the video and LISTEN this time. 🙄

There is no Startalk without Chuck ❤
