Climate scientists sound alarm over Asia’s rising seas

Quick Summary:

Scientists are urgently calling for global action, including reducing fossil fuel use, as the Pacific Ocean's sea levels rise faster than the global average and the warming Indian Ocean drives storms, erratic rainfall, and droughts.

We can no longer call the consequences of these events natural disasters as they are largely the result of human interventions at multiple levels, from global to national to local – so we have a collective responsibility here.

In much of the western tropical Pacific, the sea level has risen approximately 10–15 centimetres or nearly twice the global rate measured since 1993, while in the central tropical Pacific, sea level has risen approximately 5–10 centimetres, according to the WMO report.
