Experts predict places like New York City could see more severe floods as sea levels could rise by between 8 and 30 inches by 2050.
found that hundreds of hazardous sites on the California coast, including sewage treatment plants and gas and oil facilities, will flood more regularly as sea levels rise. With the increased number of storms being seen as the climate crisis worsens, this could cause hazardous chemicals from these facilities to seep out into the environment.
Sebesvari said that small island nations in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans are also"among the most vulnerable to sea level rise." "As sea levels rise, the islands are at risk of experiencing heavy floods and could even be partly submerged. Pacific Island nations, such as Kiribati, Tuvalu and the Marshall Islands, are low-lying and face the same risks as well. Sea level rise could displace inhabitants, harm the economies of these nations, and threaten the loss of their unique cultures and traditions."
