@blueplanetnow: Six homes collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean this week in North Carolina — and not a single hurricane made landfall. These weren’t abandoned ruins. They were beachfront properties slowly claimed by the sea after years of coastal erosion, rising sea levels, and policy delays. As Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda passed offshore, waves over 15 feet high hammered the shoreline. In just a few hours, entire homes vanished. Local officials say more will likely fall — and fast. But this has been happening for years. So why does it keep catching everyone by surprise? And who’s really responsible? This is what happens when climate risk meets coastal denial. #oceantock #ClimateCrisis #ecodisaster ocean pollution marine life environmental disaster climate change ocean conservation plastic in the ocean rising sea levels save the ocean Oil spill #OceanDisaster #CoastalCollapse
