This Louisiana town lost 90% of its population. Is climate change to blame?

Some locals call Cameron, Louisiana a ghost town. A series of hurricanes have devastated the area, forcing almost 90% of the population to relocate. This summer is expected to be a particularly volatile hurricane season. Rising sea surface temperatures arising from global warming are making hurricanes strengthen faster than ever before — a major problem for people living near the Gulf Coast. In this week’s Stay Tuned, we’ll hear from Cameron locals struggling to survive in their dying town and examine how climate change affects coastal communities like these.
