A new study led by Rutgers University concerning sea level rise and global warming was released on Monday, and the news isn’t good.
The findings suggest that global sea level rose faster throughout the 20th century than it had during any similar stretch of time in roughly 3,000 years.
Global warming was found to have played a significant role. In fact, had it not occurred, there might have actually been a sea level decrease as opposed to the estimated 5.5-inch increase from 1900 to 2000.
