#SeaLevelRise is linked to three primary factors, all induced by this ongoing global #climatechange: 1. Thermal expansion. 2. Melting of glaciers and polar ice caps. 3. Ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica... Scientific research indicates sea levels worldwide have been rising at a rate of 0.14 inches (3.5 millimeters) per year since the early 1990s. The trend, linked to global warming, puts thousands of coastal cities, like Venice, Italy, (seen below during a historic flood in 2008), and even whole islands at risk of being claimed by the ocean. -excerpts from National Geographic article Ocean Levels Are Getting Higher- Can We Do Anything About It?
