THIS WEEK’S ARCHIVE PICK

After the Storm

by Stephanie Bastek

Hurricane Florence has dropped more than 30 inches of rain in parts of North Carolina and left hundreds of people stranded by floods. In an interview with environmental reporter Elizabeth Rush, Smarty Pants host Stephanie Bastek asks what the future looks like for America’s coastal residents, especially as climate change contributes to rising sea levels and worsening storm seasons. “The options for the people and animals in these places is stark: retreat or die,” Bastek notes. “Those are the options we generally associate with far-off islands, like Fuji or Kiribati. But dramatic, life-changing climate change is happening right now in our own backyard.”
