Sea levels rose 20 centimetres over the course of the twentieth century, an average of only 2 millimetres per year. During the last decade, however, mean global sea levels have been rising at approximately 2.9 to 3.4 millimetres per year.

The invention of the telegraph in the 19th century was a significant development that laid the groundwork for future global communications by enabling faster transmission of messages over long distances.
• It doesn't release greenhouse gases. • It doesn't contribute to global warming. • Can cut carbon dioxide emissions by over 25% over the next century
Global warming is melting the icebergs, raising the water level
The order of magnitude of the impact of climate change on global sea levels is significant, with projections indicating a rise of several feet over the next century.
What could cause this is that with global warming the earth's total temperature is going up which causes the Ice bergs and caps to melt slowly. Over time the water adds up and increases the water level of the ocean.
Over the past century, US historical temperature data shows a clear trend of increasing temperatures. This trend is consistent with global warming and climate change patterns observed worldwide.
Sea levels have risen by approximately 8 inches (20 cm) over the past century. This rise is primarily due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps, as well as the thermal expansion of seawater caused by global warming. Continued sea level rise is expected in the future due to ongoing climate change.
Sea levels are already rising. They rose 20 centimetres over the course of the twentieth century. During the last decade, however, mean global sea levels have been rising at approximately 2.9 to 3.4 millimetres per year. And they are now predicted to rise a further 90 to 150 centimetres over the course of the twenty-first century, depending in part on what efforts we make to reduce our greenhouse emissions.
