Italy's beach culture is not the most serious thing threatened by climate change. But it would be sad to see this go.
Fifty years ago, the umbrella-lined beaches along Italy's Adriatric coast used to be a popular place for Europeans to go for summer vacations. Then came cheap flights, and now the younger generation might be more likely to fly thousands of miles than take the train to the beach. But even as the tourist crowd starts to dwindle to elderly Germans, the local beaches face a bigger threat than lost business: climate change washing them away.
