The effects of climate change force vulnerable communities to adapt

On Monday's program, we looked at the dangerous consequences if the planet were to warm more than two degrees. In our special we heard from people around the world whose communities are vulnerable to climate change.

Here are a few more people we spoke to in other places that are already seeing the effects. Listen above to their stories. 

In Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Socheath Sou is the executive director of Live and Learn Environmental Education. He says they're still waiting for the rains that normally start in August. And adds that where he lives, the heat is getting even hotter.

In Beijing, Fuqiang Yang is the climate change advisor for the environmental organization NRDC. The country is the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter, and is feeling the effects at home.

Meanwhile, closer to home, Harold Wanless is the chair of the geological sciences department at the University of Miami. He's raising alarms about the beachside real estate that keeps rising - as the waters rise.
