If the ocean continues to rise, before long the salt water will begin to seep through from under the walls.
He obviously continues to worry a lot about Hansen's predicted catastrophic rise in ocean levels.
Excess carbon dioxide is accelerating global warming, sea level rise, ocean acidification and overall climate change.
CNN: An SOS on World Oceans Day: Save our seas, save ourselves
They discovered that their discipline had been measuring biodiversity with a very narrow lens: looking, for instance, at habitats only in a particular region of the ocean, or at the rise or decline of a particular species, and usually with respect to benchmarks that had been set just decades earlier.
Towering ahead is a colossal obelisk of red granite, which appears to rise directly out of the ocean.
All of the conflicts in this tinderbox, which controls shipping lanes from the Indian Ocean into the Red Sea, can potentially give rise to regional, and indeed global conflagrations between competing regional actors and global powers.
Nexus is believed to have been formed three years ago as shipping companies grew more concerned about the rise in pirate attacks in the Red Sea and Arabian Ocean waters, especially off of Somalia and Yemen.
FORBES: Venezuela Frees U.S. Ship And Crew After Smuggling Investigation
The ruins of the Bibi Khanum mosque (1399) rise up over the city like the hulk of a wrecked ocean liner.
Beaches are not often associated with South Korea, but Busan delivers with a beautiful coastline of sparkling ocean, dramatic rock formations and golden beaches, despite the ubiquitous high rise developments.
Disaster mitigation, through early tsunami warning systems, but also by quantifying the trends of typical marine hazards, including typhoons and storm surges, sea level rise, or harmful algal blooms, are critical objectives of ocean monitoring with immediate and sustainable impacts.
But demand for ocean transport of crude (measured in ton-miles) is expected to rise only 4%.
"If you extrapolate these results, Greenland is going to be a serious contributor to global sea-level rise" in coming years, said Peter Wadhams, a professor of ocean physics at the University of Cambridge, England, who wasn't involved in the Science study.
Now on the scale of the next century, the projections are suggesting that, between the ice and thermal expansion of the ocean, that we're likely to see upwards of a meter of sea level rise.
The direct results of human activities on the ocean and through climate change are causing the blue part of this blue planet to warm, rise, and lose oxygen.
People don't easily understand how a small sea level rise can result in bigger storm surges and coastal damage, or how slight changes in ocean temperatures can change global rainfall patterns, leading to droughts and floods with catastrophic economic and societal consequences.
