The problem is clear: the world’s glaciers are melting, causing sea levels to rise.
As global temperatures soar due to the continued influx of greenhouse gases trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere, melting glaciers are adding more water to the oceans. Sea level rise is projected to encroach on coastlines, affecting communities and ecosystems. As a result of this human-caused climate change, global rates of sea level rise have been unprecedented over the past 2,500-plus years.
