Rising sea levels are a direct effect of Global Warming, and there is little doubt that the Earth is in fact "heating up". Some scientist consider the rise of seas due to global warming as one of the biggest dangers. Thermal expansion has already raised the oceans 4 to 8 inches. Just as the evidence is undoubtable that temperatures have risen in the last century. It is also noted that carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has increased about 30 percent, enhancing the atmosphere's ability to trap heat. Some believe that by burning fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum, are to blame for the increase in carbon dioxide; some scientists also believe it to be natural reasons like volcanic activity. It is noticeable that this is the fastest warming rate in millions of years,showing that it is probably not a natural occurrence. Most scientists think the rise in temperatures will in accelerate.
