Sea levels are rising because warm water expands, and also from melted glaciers. The earth is becoming hotter because of the extra greenhouse gases. Satellites are measuring reduced radiation from the earth in the infrared wavebands that warm carbon dioxide (meaning that carbon dioxide is trapping the heat rising from the earth).

Is it true that you cannot prevent global warming?

Global warming has already started. If we stopped carbon dioxide emissions today, there is still enough additional greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to continue warming for some years. We can prevent the worst case of global warming, but governments have to take serious action first to reduce, and then to ban carbon emissions altogether.
