Global warming may cause sea levels to rise 34 cms by 2100

Global warming will cause sea levels to rise up to 34 centimeters (11 inches) by the end of the century, causing increased flooding and coastal erosion, according to a new study by Australian researchers. The study, published in this month’s issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters, said global warming was expected to further heat up the world’s oceans and cause glaciers in the Himalayas and ice sheets in Greenland to melt.
