Scientists from UK-based Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory have stated in a new report that they predict that sea levels globally could rise between 0.8 to 1.5 meters by the end of this century.  These calculations take into account the accelerated melting of ice sheets around the world due to global warming. The World Bank has estimated that as many as 56 million people in developing nations could become refugees with a one-meter rise in sea level. 

Thank you, scientists, for these vital findings on the life-changing effects of continued climate change. May all governments and individuals alike act now to stop global warming.
