Global sea levels have risen nearly 3 inches in less than 25 years, with some locations around the world rising more than 9 inches, according to NASA’s latest satellite data.

MIAMI: Sea levels are rising around the world, and the latest satellite data suggests that three feet (one metre) or more is unavoidable in the next 100-200 years, Nasa scientists said on Wednesday

MIAMI – Sea levels are rising around the world, and the latest satellite data suggest 3 feet (1 meter) or more is unavoidable in the next 100 to 200 years, NASA scientists said Wednesday.

Sea levels worldwide have risen an average of nearly eight centimetres (three inches) since 1992 because of warming waters and melting ice, a panel of Nasa scientists said on Wednesday.

The West Coast may be in danger of sea level rise. Researchers have found that the uplift rates across the Pacific Coast of the U.S.

Communities around estuaries may be in for some financial troubles.

Many global issues are climate-related, including basic needs such as food, water, health and shelter.

A Kiribati family fleeing the impact of climate change on their homeland have asked the United Nations to help them fight deportation from New Zealand, which has ruled they are not refugees.

Climate change presents substantial threats to physical and mental health and may also create social instability, conflict and violence, a new study has revealed.

Predictions of coastal wetland loss depend on reliable estimations of sea-level rise (SLR) and biological feedbacks to geomorphology, yet it is difficult to manipulate SLR to generate empirical data of impacts on wetland processes. Typically, data have been generated through small-scale mesocosm experiments, an approach that may not fully capture biological responses to SLR.
