Climate Change and The Rise in Sea Level

"Recent afternoon Scott McKenzie saw the heavy rain and the tide darkened the street outside the dog's grooming salon and within tin minutes most of this fashionable South Beach was soaked in water Rain and ocean are mixed deep inside the ankle "Welcome to the new Venice" McKenzie was joking about saltwater flowing out of the sewer .----- Michael J. Mishak, Associated Press, 2014 6 According to "World Bank Development Report 2013" at 4:24 pm Eastern Standard Time on July 7, the surface temperature of the world has risen 0.4 - 0.9 ℃ over 100 years.

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.

Not only the Pacific Islands but all of us know that climate change is causing sea level rise. In the magic city of the United States, rising seawater is contaminated by leakage of underground and underground freshwater supplies. The problem has been on since the 1930's, but sea level rise means that these leaks are increasing at an unprecedented rate. These waters have even destroyed the underground defense barriers that have been installed in freshwater wells in recent decades. As a result, neighboring cities already have a hard time finding drinking water. Hallandale Beach is a few miles north of Miami and it has to close six out of eight wells due to invasion of seawater. Residents of nearby Everglades National Park (including crocodiles) are swept across the Aral Sea wetlands. Residents of Miami Dade are familiar with these risks as more than 50% believe that the climate crisis will affect them.

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.
