Researchers find sea levels rising faster than predicted. Scientists from Britain’s National Oceanographic Centre, along with colleagues in the US and Germany, have found what is believed to be the first definitive evidence that sea levels are rising to ones reached over 120,000 years ago. At that time, the seas were six meters higher than they are today. These scientists’ findings indicate that between 1993 and 2006, sea levels rose 65% more than estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Thank you scientists for your confirmation of the urgency to take action in protecting our planet! We pray that the collective efforts of global citizens and governments will reverse these trends to sustain our beautiful Earth.
