The processes of deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, are causing global warming. This is melting ice and expanding oceans so sea levels are rising.

How does rising heat affect sea levels?

Heat makes most things expand, and water is no exception. So rising temperatures in the ocean means that the water expands. The only place to go is up, so sea levels rise. This is not counting the melting glaciers and ice caps.


Why are scientists concerned about current levels of CO2?

Because CO2 levels are rising and are currently over 390 PPM, and 350 was considered to be the relatively safe number we should not exceed. I think one has to use the most modern and accurate data possible from a variety of sources none of which supports that in 1880 that CO2 was 440 ppm.With rising CO2, it could someday cause a tipping point that would cause runaway temperature rise.
