Detailed explanation-1: -By 2050, sea level along contiguous U.S. coastlines could rise as much as 12 inches (30 centimeters) above today’s waterline, according to researchers who analyzed nearly three decades of satellite observations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The high-end global mean sea-level rise is now projected to be up to 1.3-1.6 meters for strong warming in 2100.
Detailed explanation-3: -Global sea levels are rising as a result of human-caused global warming, with recent rates being unprecedented over the past 2, 500-plus years. Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers, and the expansion of seawater as it warms.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the short term, sea level rise is projected to be 6 to 10 inches by 2030 and 14 to 26 inches by 2060 (above the 1992 mean sea level). In the long term, sea level rise is projected to be 31 to 61 inches by 2100.
