The Controversy Between Climate Change And Sea Level Rise

There is a great deal of controversy among people on the subjects of climate change, global warming and sea level rise. There is also great confusion caused when scientists ineffectively communicate complicated information to the general public, thus the information in misunderstood and often rejected. This confusion commonly prohibits the measures that need to be taken in order to adapt to the elements like sea level rise. In simple terms Climate change, as described by The United States Panel on Climate Change, is the “climate is undergoing dramatic changes as the direct result of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity” these green house gasses act like a ceiling for our environment and trap the heat that would otherwise be released
into space (Climate Change Summary, 2015). Which is generally referred to as the “Green House Effect”. The most common of these trapped gases is Carbon Dioxide which is released by human activities, most commonly fossil fuels emitted by the burning of coal gases or oil.
