Description

Ice on land is melting, and sea level is rising, both at astonishing rates never seen in recorded history. Are you, your property, investments, and family ready for these unprecedented changes? Read Moving to Higher Ground and…

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?

In time of great financial and environmental peril, WHO WILL LEAD US? Prepare to be surprised at the answer.

John Englander is a renowned oceanographer and expert on climate change and sea level rise.

Review

“In this extraordinary book, John Englander gives us valuable historical perspective, fascinating insights, and powerful data about what is happening now, and sound thinking about where we go from here…”―Senator Angus King, U.S. Senator from Maine

“… a timely, very well-written and outstanding book on the greatest threat facing humanity today: climate change and sea level rise.”―Jean-Michel Cousteau, President, Ocean Futures Society

"…The climate emergency is like nothing that human civilization has ever faced… We have passed a “tipping point”, and John Englander’s excellent book clearly makes the case for many meters of higher sea level… fair warning of the profound change coming…"―Sir David King, Founder & Chair, Cambridge Centre for Climate Repair, Cambridge, England

Author(s)

John Englander

John Englander is an oceanographer, multi-book author, and expert speaker on climate change and Sea Level Rise (SLR). He is also a global ocean explorer with expeditions under the polar ice cap, deep dives in research submersibles, 5,000+ SCUBA dives, and visits to Greenland and Antarctica. His mission is to be a clear, apolitical voice on our changing climate and oceans. His best-selling first book, High Tide on Main Street (2012), established John as a leading authority on rising sea level. He translated the latest science from Greenland and Antarctica into practical information for strategic coastal planning and adaptation. His second book, Moving to Higher Ground: Rising Sea Level and the Path Forward (2021), updates the science (SLR is increasing at an increasing rate), and again concludes that excess heat already stored in our oceans guarantees SLR will continue for centuries to come. www.johnenglander.net
