Compared with other continents, Africa would lose less of its land to the ultimatesea-level catastrophe, but Earth's rising heat might make much of it uninhabitable . Seas are rising and beaches are eroding, placing people in harm's way and disrupting economies globally. The Hardcover of the The Rising Sea (B&N Exclusive Signed Book) (NUMA Files Series) by Clive Cussler, Graham Brown | at Barnes & Noble. Time is of the essence; lowering greenhouse gas emissions today will influence what we experience in the future. Assateague, a 37-mile-long smear off the shores of Maryland and Virginia, is the East Coast's climate change canary. In many places, the motion of the land plays a big role in rising water levels. It's one of the most vulnerable islands in America, almost certain to be one of the first places claimed by the rising sea. Another great mathematician once told me that he thought he knew why. By the end of this century, hundreds of millions of people living at low elevations along coasts will be forced to retreat to higher and safer ground. If we keep burning fossil fuels indefinitely, global warming will eventually melt all the ice at the poles and on mountaintops, raising sea level by 216 feet. The model was able to account for a wide variety of processes known to affect regional sea levels, said Robert Kopp, an associate professor of earth and planetary sciences at Rutgers University and another of the report's authors.

Understand how your organization will be impacted by rising sea levels and increased flooding risks. As ice sheets melt and ocean waters warm and expand, sea levels are expected to rise between one and two meters by the end of the century. The world's sea levels are rising at an alarming rate, too quickly to be caused by glacier melt.
