West Oakland Climate Hotspot: Rising Seas Threaten East Bay Coastline

One of the trouble spots in the San Francisco Bay Area when it comes to climate change is West Oakland. It has 19 miles of coastline that are particularly vulnerable to rising seas because it lies at a lower elevation. NBC Bay Area meteorologist Kari Hall meets with Heather Cooley, a climate scientist from the Pacific Institute, at the point where the water meets the land in West Oakland to talk about what’s happening and what needs to be done to save the coastline.
