Why is the sea level rising in the Maldives?

Sea levels are rising globally due to climate change, leading to increased water temperatures and melting ice caps. In the Maldives, this rise in sea level is particularly worrisome as the country is low-lying and at risk of being entirely submerged. The Maldives also faces other environmental challenges such as coral bleaching and coastal erosion, exacerbating the impact of rising sea levels.

How is rising sea level affecting the polar bears?

The rising sea levels are not affecting the polar bears, The cause of the sea level's rise is effecting them. The sea levels are rising because the ice in Arctic regions is melting. This changes where seals can rest and breed which reduces the ease of the polar bears finding food. The lack of ice also presents difficulties when they want to rest from swimming and when they want to travel quickly over the frozen sea.The climate change thus reduces their food and their energy expenditure. This leads to starvation and death
