RISING SEA LEVEL

Submitted by ub on

The data released found that Pacific Island nations will experience at least 6 inches of sea level rise in the next 30 years.
 

The number of high-tide flood days will increase by an order of magnitude for nearly all Pacific Island nations by the 2050s.

“The data is clear: Sea levels are rising around the world, and they’re rising faster and faster,” said Ben Hamlington, a sea level researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and head of the agency’s sea level change science team. “Having the best information to make decisions about how to plan for rising seas is more crucial than ever.”
