Greenland are melting‚ thus causing the sea levels to rise. This past summer‚ in a disconcerting new scientific study by the climate scientist Michiel Schaeffer and his fellow colleagues‚ had suggested that no matter how quickly we cut this pollution‚ we are unlikely to keep the seas from climbing; subsequently‚ what is worse is that rising seas can raise the launching pad for a storm surge. Accelerated rates of erosion are another cause that attributes to the sea level rise. For erosion causes large
