In New Jersey, a slow-motion evacuation from climate change

In New Jersey, the state has demolished around 145 homes since 2013 and returned the land to nature. Dozens more are slated to be torn down as some neighbourhoods in New Jersey are projected to be partly or fully underwater in coming years as global sea levels rise. Superstorm Sandy in 2012 opened the eyes of people in low-lying towns to dangers of rising waters.
