There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world'spoles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries in Asia and smallsland in the Pacifi. This may lead to the displacemen of millions of people ...
For 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This iscausing pola ice to melt sea-levels to rise and has brought about a dangerous increase in extreme weather events.These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society an...

400 years since the end of the lastIce Age, sea level has risen at an average of 4 feet/century, though it is now rising much more slowly because very nearly all of the land-based ice that is at low enough latitudes and altitudes to melt has long since gone." (Christopher Monckton)...
Kenya’s temperature has been rising over the years amid the burning of fossil fuels. From 1960, the temperature has risen by one degree Celsius (°C). In Nairobi, for instance, average air temperatures rose from 18.8° C in the 1950s to 19.5°C in the 2000s. ...
"Our study shows a huge glacier ice loss(3) because of the rising temperatures from climate(气候) change," Maurer says.Nearly(4) a quarter of the area's ice has been lost over the last 40 years,he says."Temperatures in the area have risen one degree Celsius(摄氏度)(5) higher (high...
By 2050, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that sea levels will rise by an average of nearly a foot — as much as they have risen over previous 100 years. Climate change is the main driver, as the warming temperatures melt landlocked glaciers at a record pace and...
If you're starting to notice changes in the shoreline of your favorite beach, it's possible this could be related to global warming. Studies have shown that, sea levels have risen an estimated 7.5 inches on a global level since 1870. Unfortunately, the rate is expected to accelerate further...
The melting is driven by a warmer climate.Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade.Since most of Greenland's ice is on land,seas will rise as the ice melts.If all Greenland's ice sheet melted,oceans would be 15-20feet higher.Nobody ...
For instance, the IPCC estimates that sea levels have risen by half a foot over the past century and will rise by another two feet over the current century. At the high end of the 3-to-4-degree range, it reports the impact on ecosystems will be no worse than that of the land-use ...
