Are we going to disappear beneath the waves?
Let's be honest: when we think about rising sea levels, we initially think that the water rises the same way all over the world—like in a bathtub. And if we're talking about an annual rise of about 4 millimeters, it seems harmless at first. But it's not that simple. There is a global average, which we find, for example, in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. But these reports also state that if we continue as we have been—and by that we mean the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere—we could expect a sea level rise of up to one meter by the end of the century. This is no small matter when you consider that many coastal cities are only a few centimeters above sea level, and some are even below.
