Since 1900, sea levels have risen 10 to
15cm, largely due to the melting of glaciers
and ice caps. Because of this melting,
scientists have predicted that the level of
the sea could rise by as much as 1.65m by
203O and 3.1m by 2100. ........ . Then, it
would threaten over 10 million square
kilometres — only 3% of the world's area,
but more than 30% of its farmland and home
to over 1 billion people. All coastal cities
would be at risk as would many islands.
Most of Asia's rice farms would be
endangered and the entire country of the
Netherlands could end up under water.
