Summary:
Traffic jams function like bombs.
We take a look at how 'phantom traffic
jams' - when everyone slows down
for no apparent reason - have a
pattern like detonation waves after
an explosion.
And... sea levels are rising fast...
putting some coastal towns at risk.
Tamara Keith visited one community
that's taking a more natural approach
to protecting their shoreline. Tearing
down bulkheads... and putting up
plants.
