PLEASE NOTE: The guy speaking in the brown shirt is only coming through on one channel (that's just how he made his video.) If you can't hear him, listen in stereo.

CORRECTIONS: 
Towards the end I said the vulnerable housing market of South Florida is worth $8.7 trillion dollars. That should, of course, be $8.7 billion, as shown on the screen.

   This video follows on from my video "If ocean levels are rising, why can't we see it?" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTRlSGKddJE&t=2s -- which looks at the scientific evidence of sea level rise. 
   That video shows how sea level rise is measured, and how it's accelerating. THIS video addresses the question of people are buying coastal property.  Ordinarily I wouldn't make a video on this subject, but so many people used it as a rebuttal in the comments section of my last video (maybe they're running out of scientific ammunition) that I really thought it needed to be addressed -- especially since all of the claims were so clearly and factually wrong.
   So please address your questions about the scientific conclusions to the former video, and your questions about people buying coastal property to this video.
