What is causing the sea level to rise above what is normal? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to take more space and also create more water by changing the ice in the seas into water. If this continues, many countries will face problems. Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. Some islands in the Pacific Ocean would stop to exist. The people of these islands are worried about their future. The sea which they depend on for their lives is becoming a danger, and they don’t have the money or technology to solve the problem. They have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that these countries will take action to reduce pollution.
