The Seychelles Islands show the largest sea-level drop. Researchers from the University of Colorado and the National Centre for Atmospheric Research say the rising sea levels are caused in part by climate change and are triggered by warming seas and changes to atmospheric circulation patterns. In his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, US President Barack Obama warned that if the world does nothing to confront climate change, “we will face more drought, famine and mass displacement that will fuel more conflict for decades”. The authors of the latest study say higher seas could exacerbate monsoon flooding, placing crops, homes and livelihoods at greater risk. They argue a better understanding of the changes are needed to improve risk assessment planning for the future. Sea levels in general are rising globally by about 3mm (0.1181 inch) a year. Scientists blame rising temperatures caused by the growing amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, that trap heat in the atmosphere.

Mistakes discovered in the 3,000-page report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year fed into an atmosphere of scepticism over the reliability of climate scientists who have been warning for many years that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases could have catastrophic consequences, including rising sea levels, drought and the extinction of nearly one-third of the Earth’s species. The errors put scientists on the defensive in the months before a major summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December, which met with only limited success on agreeing how to limit carbon emissions and contain the worst effects of global warming.

Climate change is causing major declines in marine ecosystems The changes could have dire consequences for hundreds of millions of people around the globe who rely on oceans for their livelihoods. “It’s as if the Earth has been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day,” said the report’s lead author, Australian marine scientist Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg. The Australia-US report published in Science magazine on Friday, studied 10 years of marine research and found that climate change was causing major declines in marine ecosystems. Oceans were rapidly warming and acidifying, water circulation was being altered and dead zones within the ocean depths were expanding, said the report. There has also been a decline in major ocean ecosystems like kelp forests and coral reefs and the marine food chain was breaking down, with fewer and smaller fish and more frequent diseases and pests among marine organisms. “If we continue down this pathway we get into conditions which have no analogue to anything we’ve experienced,” said Hoegh-Guldberg, director of the the Global Change Institute at The University of Queensland.
