Climate Change and Sea Level Rise

President of the Republic of Kiribati Arnott Tang defended the United Nations. "The international community continues to blame others for their responsibility and leadership for this issue, but our people continue to experience the effects of climate change and sea level rise." There are too many conversations and ideas in progress, It is not enough. The problem is that I think there is enough time to come up with a solution, but the destructive process has been going on for decades.

The problems caused by climate change are sea level rise, extreme weather phenomena and disasters, and a decline in livelihoods. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agrees with the main problems arising from sea level rise caused by climate change. If the sea level rise is relatively small, there is the possibility that population-dense coastal plains can not inhabit and cause serious problems. In addition, as happened in Tuvalu and Kiribati, any sea level rise will accelerate coastal erosion, causing lowland island countries. It is estimated that the sea level may rise in the next several centuries. Currently, the IPCC predicts that sea level rise is at least 0.5 meters at least from 9 to 88 centimeters to 2100 years, but climate change causes irreversible earth glacial change at this time and the final I warn you that it will dissolve in the same way. Sufficient ice to raise the sea level of several meters over the next ten years

Another influence of climate change is sea level height. As the world's average seawater temperature rises, the seawater expands and the sea level rises. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the sea level will rise from 8 inches to 23 inches by 2099. In the southeast, sea level steadily rises at a rate of 5 inches per inch over the last 100 years, but there is not much acceleration. Overall, the climate of the southeast can change over the next several decades. Although the extent of these changes are very discussed, it is important to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, identify socially vulnerable people, and formulate adaptation strategies to achieve a more effective society, to address climate change challenges It is necessary to tackle.

Scientists agree that climate change we are seeing today is primarily caused by human activities and climate change causes sea level rise. Immediately after we began burning coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels to gain energy, the sea level started to rise in the late nineteenth century. When burning, these high energy fuel sources send carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide absorbs the heat of the sun, captures it, and warms the atmosphere and the earth. There are two reasons for the sea level to rise as the earth warms up. First, as the temperature rises, there is a possibility that land ice such as glaciers and ice sheets melt into the sea and the sea level rises. Secondly, the warm water is relatively cold and expands to occupy more space and increases the amount of seawater.
