Texans are really concerned about the coastline, especially those of live in the area or in close proximity.

Recently, the Texas government has calculated that it would take upwards of $12 billion to even attempt to save the Lone Star's state coastline.

Climate researchers at the Climate Center, a group of scientists and journalists researching how climate change is affecting the planet, made an interactive map of what the US coastline will look like in the future. Their intention is to illustrate the future that sea level rise will bring for coastal towns.

We set our map to look at the year 2080.
