Rising Tides, Looming Danger
Sea level rise presents a significant existential threat to low-lying Pacific islands, occurring at rates 10 to 30% higher than the global average due to climate change. This phenomenon arises from three key factors: the ocean's role as a heat buffer, absorbing approximately 90% of the heat increase, leading to thermal expansion of water, which accounts for 33% to 40% of sea level rise.
