Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., who writes at The Honest Broker on substack, gets a great big Hat Tip from me for bringing this NASA web page to my attention: Climate Kids: Planet Health Report: SEA LEVEL. [ see his post here – I am writing about the issue of Landification shortly ]
Climate Kids presents itself as an educational tool to teach children, at the grade school level, about Climate Change. It is produced by the Earth Science Communications Team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology. The Program Manager is Heather Doyle, who can be contacted at climatekids@jpl.nasa.gov.
Here is their Sea Level page graphic:
Here’s the text, a little easier for you to read:
“SEA LEVEL:
What if it keeps rising this fast?
The global average sea level has risen over 7 inches in the past 100 years. A few inches may not seem like much, but every inch of sea level rise covers 50-100 inches of beach. If the ice keeps melting, global sea level could rise more than 20 feet. That would put a lot of coastlines under water. Whole islands could disappear!”
