Top Scientist Warns Seas Could Rise 10 Feet by End of Century 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Former NASA scientist James Hansen, who was one of the first to raise
concerns about climate change in the 1980s, has warned that sea levels
could rise as much as 10 feet before the end of the century unless
greenhouse gas emissions are drastically reduced. The rise would make
cities such as London, New York and Shanghai uninhabitable. This comes
as new data shows that this past June was the hottest on record,
breaking the previous record, which was set last year.
