Duration: 06:22
Program: Need to Know #142
Broadcast Date: Feb. 25, 2011

Our report on Norfolk, VA looks at the effect sea level rise has on one town in Virginia. However, sea level rise isn't the only potential effect of climate change and Norfolk certainly won't be the only place affected. Alison speaks with Mark Hertsgaard, author of "Hot: Living Through The Next Fifty Years on Earth," about what other cities around the country can expect.
