De senaste 100 åren har den globala medeltemperaturen ökat i genomsnitt 0,74 grader, vilket medför stora effekter för såväl människor som djur och natur. En av de största konsekvenserna till den globala uppvärmningen är att den stigande havsnivån blir allt mer påtaglig världen över. Glaciärer och inlandsisar har börjat smälta allt mer, där avsmältningen medför en global ökning i havsnivån. HavsnivThe rising sea level is becoming more evident around the world as less as well as more developed countries are starting to fully comprehend the consequenses. It is also generally accepted that the sea level rise is accelerated by human-induced global warming. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting more and more, which together with temperature induced thermal expansion of the seas which leads to a gl
