Study: Oceans Rising at Fastest Rate in 28 Centuries Due to Fossil Fuels
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new study has found greenhouse gas emissions largely stemming from
fossil fuels are causing oceans to rise faster than at any point in the
past 28 centuries. If the burning of fossil fuels continues unabated
over the coming decades, ocean levels could rise by as much as three or
four feet by the end of the century. Flooding from sea level rise is
already impacting multiple cities in the United States.
