"2.5 Seconds" climate change awareness series
.
As humans continue to pour greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, oceans have tempered the effect. The world's seas have absorbed more than 90 percent of the heat from these gases, but it’s taking a toll on our oceans: 2018 set a new record for ocean heating.
Rising seas is one of those climate change effects. Average sea levels have risen over 8 inches (about 23 cm) since 1880, with about a third of that gained in the last 25 years.
Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
When sea levels rise as rapidly as they have been, even a small increase can have devastating effects on coastal habitats, it can cause destructive erosion, flooding, soil contamination with salt, and lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants. Higher sea levels are cause more deadly and destructive hurricanes that move more slowly and drop more rain, contributing to more powerful storm surges that can strip away everything in their path.
Already, flooding in low-lying coastal areas is forcing people to migrate to higher ground, and millions more are vulnerable from flood risk and other climate change effects. In the United States, almost 40 percent of the population lives in relatively high population-density coastal areas, where sea level plays a role in flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms. Most predictions say the warming of the planet will continue and is likely to accelerate, causing the oceans to keep rising. It is projected to rise another 1 to 4 feet by 2100. This means hundreds of coastal cities face flooding.
