Sea Levels Rose By 20 Centimeters
More than 600 million people (around 10 percent of the world’s population) live in coastal areas that are less than 10 meters (32 feet) above sea level.
Forbes– NASA’s Sea Level Change Team has created a sea level projection tool based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report that visualizes the impacts of future sea level rise on coastlines and communities.

Based on an analysis published by NASA, global mean sea levels rose by about 20 centimeters (almost 1 foot) between 1901 and 2018, faster than any time in the past 3,000 years.
Models of future sea level rise generally hover around a meter (3 feet) or so within the next 100 years, but how much ice will melt, the temperature of the oceans, oceanic currents, tidal range and coastal geomorphology will affect the local sea level change.

The online map allows users to click anywhere on the global ocean and coastlines, and pick any decade between 2020 and 2150: The tool then will deliver a detailed report for the location based on the projections in the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, released on August 9, which addresses the most updated physical understanding of the climate system and climate change.
The IPCC has provided global-scale assessments of Earth’s climate every five to seven years since 1988, focusing on changes in temperature, ice cover, greenhouse gas emissions, and sea level across the planet. Their sea level projections are informed by data gathered by satellites and instruments on the ground, as well as analyses and computer simulations.
