¥Massive Greenland and West Antarctic
ice sheets that together hold enough water to raise sea level 12 meters (39
feet) are melting at accelerating rates
¥A 10-meter (33-foot) sea level rise
would displace more than 600 million people
¥Sea level could rise 2 meters (6
feet) by 2100
¥Even a 1-meter rise in sea level
would partially inundate crop-producing river deltas in countries such as
Bangladesh and Viet Nam
