Research from the University of Maynooth found that Ireland will 'not escape' rising seas levels due to climate change

Heat-trapping pollution, mainly from burning fossil fuels, is warming the planet and causing sea levels to rise mainly due to melting glaciers and ice sheets and the thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. Mean sea level rose about 9 inches globally during 1901-2025, and nearly 16 inches along U.S. coasts during 1900-2024. Rising seas cause more frequent coastal flooding. Over the last decade, human-caused sea level rise accounted for about eight in every 10 days with coastal flooding across 71 U.S. locations. Rising seas also give storm surges a higher starting point, increasing flood damage during coastal storms. Along U.S. coasts, sea levels are projected to rise an additional 10-12 inches by 2050. Reducing heat-trapping pollution, mainly from burning fossil fuels, can limit future sea level rise and related hazards. Many coastal communities are adapting to reduce risk and build resilience to accelerating sea level rise. VISUALS Loading visual assets... FULL REPORT Loading visual assets... Rising seas put coastal communities at risk As heat-trapping pollution warms the planet, sea levels are rising around the globe. Sea level rise isn't just a threat to distant shorelines decades from now; it's already changing what tides and storms can do to coastal...

Rapid emissions reduction is needed to minimize risks of sea level rise to densely populated coastal communities

A key layer of water around Antarctica is getting saltier, potentially shifting storm tracks and accelerating sea-level rise, new research shows.

A global climate synthesis warns that exceeding 1.5°C could cause lasting damage, while rapid emissions cuts can still limit harm.

Rising sea levels might seem like someone else’s problem if you live inland. But, even miles from the coast, changing sea levels can affect the food we eat, the goods we buy, the energy we use and the taxes we pay. Global sea levels are predicted to rise by between 28 and 55cm by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions are significantly reduced. Sea levels could rise by between 63cm and 1m if emissions stay at very high levels. A rise of more than 2m by 2100 cannot be completely ruled out. Here’s how sea-level rise is already affecting our daily lives and exposing weaknesses in everything from power supplies to infrastructure: 1. Threat to food crops The Fens, which spread across Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, hold 48% of England’s best agricultural land and contribute over 7% of UK agricultural output, including about a third of England’s vegetables. Much of this landscape lies at or below sea level, which leaves it vulnerable to flooding and to contamination with saline water. The land’s productivity depends on an extensive network of drainage channels, pumping stations and flood defences. A breach can destroy crops and leave productive soil unusable for years. As homegrown produce...

On 29 October 2012, Hurricane Sandy slammed into New York City, unleashing a devastating storm surge that flooded homes, subways and tunnels, knocked out power and sparked deadly fires.
