Global Warming has caused our plant to warm about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past 100 years. This has resulted in an increase in the sea level by 4-10 inches. More so the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned if the temperatures go up to 2-6 degree Fahrenheit, the sea level would rice by 6-37 inches.
In June, 2000 the scientists predicted that the estimated temperature increase in the US for the following 100 years is about 5-10 degrees. Corresponding to this the sea levels would rise higher than expected.
This may cause some part of the land around the shores to be submerged and thereby lost due to the rise in sea level. This suggests that within hundred years, we would be losing many of our public beaches and that many small islands would be completely submerged under water.
