CLEAN : Climate Central CEO discusses IPCC report on climate change impact on coastal cities

The video discusses the impact of climate change on cities, focusing on rising sea levels and increased flooding by 2050. It highlights the potential for entire cities to be submerged, drawing parallels to the myth of Atlantis. The narrative emphasizes the role of human actions in exacerbating these issues and the importance of reducing pollution. The video concludes with a call to action to mitigate climate change and shape future narratives.

What are the main challenges cities will face by 2050 due to climate change?

• Increased population growth

• Higher temperatures

• Rising sea levels and frequent flooding

• Decreased rainfall

How does the video describe the future of some cities in relation to the myth of Atlantis?

• Cities will become more technologically advanced

• Cities will experience more earthquakes

• Some cities may become completely submerged

• Cities will become isolated

What is the significance of current climate change efforts according to the video?

• They are too late to make any difference

• They will shape the stories future generations tell about us

• They will only benefit future generations

How do historical flood stories differ from the current situation?

• They predicted future climate change

• They were unrelated to human actions

• They were more severe than current floods

• They were based on real events

What is the video’s perspective on the future of coastal cities if pollution is not reduced?

• They will thrive and expand

• They will become more resilient

• They will become centers of innovation

• Many will be lost to flooding
