A study released this week in the magazine "Nature" said this, in summary: SLR will pose a substantial socioeconomic challenge in the twenty-first century, primarily affecting human populations, infrastructure and ecosystems along major coastlines. Furthermore, coastal cities often experience sinking land (so-called land subsidence), whose compounding effect contributes to relative SLR, exacerbating coastal hazards and risks. On the coasts of the conterminous USA, climate-induced sea levels are rising faster than the global average3, with an expected increase over the next few decades. The 32 coastal cities evaluated in the study include: Oakland, CA, San Francisco, CA, South San Francisco, CA; 27. Foster City, CA; 28. Santa Cruz, CA; 29. Long Beach, CA; 30. Huntin
