Lesson 2e. Summarizing Lesson 2

There is a lot we know about sea level rise based on physics and the historical record

1. We know what's happened to sea levels in the past, and how sea levels have responded to global temperatures.
2. We have a pretty good idea of what sea levels will look like in the long term given different climate change outcomes
3. What's much less clear is what we'll explore next - how fast could SLR significantly affect real estate values?
4. Remember that SLR is local in the sense that local circumstances could substantially lessen or worsen the overall rate of SLR
