Since 1880, global sea levels have risen steadily each year to a global average of about 8-9 inches (20-23 cm), and they're still rising. By 2100, the sea could climb as much as 6.6 feet (2 m) higher than it is today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eRising Seas\u003c\/i\u003e gives youth an eye-popping view of what the Earth might look like under the rising sea levels of climate change.
