Norfolk Naval base threatened by climate change
When US Secretary of State John Kerry wanted to push his country to take the lead on climate change, it was no accident that he chose to give a speech in Norfolk, Virginia.
Norfolk Naval Station is the biggest naval installation in the world. But, Kerry said last November, the land it is built on is literally sinking.
That was just weeks before the big United Nations climate change conference in Paris, and Kerry was framing climate change as a national security issue.
