The NASA released through its official channels a discouraging video regarding the sea level rise during the last three decades, product of the exploratory work on the topography of the global surface of the ocean which has been in place for more than 20 years.
Since 1880, the average height between high tide and low tide has increased by 20 centimeters and, by the year 2100, it is projected to increase between 30 and 122 centimeters, which is equivalent to 1 to 4 feet. Therefore, it is important to take a look at the role played by geographical accidents in the lives of human beings.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration issued a warning regarding the consequences of climate change through audiovisual material that seeks to demonstrate the scope of the natural phenomenon in an attempt to raise awareness regarding a schedule problem Worldwide.

NASA and climate change, a global problem that is difficult to counteract
“Although the exact heights of the oceans vary due to local geography, weather over time, and fluid dynamic interactions with gravity and planetary rotation, scientists look at sea level trends by comparing measurements with a spatial and temporal measurement reference of 20 years”, explained the specialists of the NASA.
The progression of the effects generates a devastating impact on marine life and the coastal communities of the planet Earth due to the melting of glaciers and the thermal expansion of ocean water.

One of the main consequences of climate change
The degradation of marine ecosystems arises as a trigger for global warming and the Rising sea levels they alter ocean circulation patterns, affecting the distribution of nutrients and biodiversity. Coastal systems such as mangroves and wetlands are at risk of disappearing, which in turn affects endangered species and fishing.
In this sense, the Director of the Goodard Institute for Space Studies at the NASAGavin Schmidt warned that “we are seeing widespread heat almost everywhere, especially in the oceanswhere for months we have seen record sea surface temperatures, even outside the tropics, and we anticipate this to continue.

Specialists from the US space agency assured that “the alarming situation is no surprise” and that the consequences will worsen unless the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere ceases.
