Sea Levels Rising

Studies predict an increase in the rate of sea levels rising. This has a particular impact on America's eastern coastline. However, I'm less than pleased about the handwaving of other threatened populations -- there are entire island nations likely to be drowned in the foreseeable future.

Studies Predict Rapid Rise in Sea Levels Along US East Coast
David A.
