Scientists note that the rate of melting of glaciers has exceeded initial expectations.
According to Qadin.Net, Nature Climate Change reports about this.
It is said that the level of the world's oceans has risen sharply in recent years as the rate of melting of glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland has accelerated significantly.
The rise in sea level has reached 1.8 centimeters since the 1990s, the worst situation.
Currently, the level of the world's oceans continues to rise by four millimeters every year.
If the current growth rate of ice melting remains, the sea level will rise by 17 centimeters by the end of this century, which will be dangerous for coastal areas. Today, areas inhabited by about 16 million people could be flooded.
