What would be the major causes and effects of sea level rise What are its human dimensions?
This has resulted in predictions of 15-88 cm sea level rise over the next 10 years. That may not seem a lot, but many countries will be affected. Bangladesh and Holland are good examples. Much of their land has been reclaimed from the sea and currently sits either lower than sea level or within the 88 cm rise threshhold. If the 88 cm rise is true, somewhere in the region of 5 million in Bangladesh alone stand to either lose their lives or be living in the sea.
