"If high levels of greenhouse gas emissions continue, they concluded, oceans could rise by close to two meters in total (more than six feet) by the end of the century. The melting of ice on Antarctica alone could cause seas to rise more than 15 meters (49 feet) by 2500"(Scientists). This can be dangerous for the future because it can effect farmland, flooding and loss of plants. Rising sea levels can turn lots of cities into water and will cause damage and bring difficulty for many citizens(Scientists). Towns that have farmland will have trouble being able to harvest and provide for the people. And this is a problem because many small towns still rely on farming as a main source of food. "For the study, the authors combined future population estimates with predicted sea-level rise, using data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to demonstrate that millions are at risk: 4.2 million if seas rise by three feet, or 13.1 million with a six-foot increase, a high-end estimate(Rising). Millions of people can be effected by the sea levels rising and it can cause people to flee their homes and jobs to find a place for protection. "If the seas were to rise by about six feet by 2100, more than one million people in California, and almost as many in New York and New Jersey, would be affected, the study shows"(Rising). Studies have shown that just in one coastal
