Coastal cities are centers of growth and development but they are equally vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. According to a latest study, rising sea levels due to climate change could make India's Mumbai lose 10 per cent of its land in the next 15 years.

Climate change is real. Several factors like deforestation and extensive use of fossil fuels have led to a rise in earth's temperature. It has resulted in the melting of glaciers and a rise in sea levels. The worst sufferers of climate change will be coastal areas as they will face sinking due to the spike in the level of sea water. Can anything be done to stop it? Yes, the world can fight sea level rise. Let’s find out how.

The rapid collapses of two ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past quarter-century were most likely triggered by the arrival of huge plumes of warm, moisture-laden air that created extreme conditions and destabilized the ice, researchers said Thursday.

According to a study, the world glaciers are shrinking at a rapid volume than previously estimated. The calculation has raised concern among communities relying on the melting of glaciers to feed rivers and irrigate crops. The revised estimation would decrease global sea-level rise by 3 inches if all glaciers were to melt.

Ice sheet melting during the end of the last ice age may be responsible for sea levels to rise at 10 times the current rate, a study published on Thursday said. Researchers from UK's Durham University used geological records to estimate that oceans across the world rose 3.
