Sea Levels To Rise By A Foot In Three Decades
Sea levels at USA coastlines, by the year 2050, are set to increase by 10-12 inches. How the overall increase is reflected by region may depend on the height of the coastline, among other factors.

The impact of climate change coupled with a business-as-usual approach to things is being felt across the world through the worsening of ‘earth’s vital signs'.
While in the oceans, microplastics also serve as a base of bacterial growth, most of which are harmful to other animals. The bacteria form a biofilm over the microplastics and colonise them.
Our oceans are facing way too much.
A study suggests that an increase in levels of seas can lead to coastal areas of the sea as well as storm drains to be contaminated with wastewater.
To determine the rise in sea levels, it is currently assumed that icebergs melt at a uniform pace. However, that may not be the case.
