Rising on up"Nasa presented new research showing that sea levels worldwide have risen on average by 7cm since 1992, which is at the upper end of the expected range. Reuters reported Steve Nerem, a geophysicist at the University of Colorado who leads Nasa's sea level team, as saying that they are rising faster than they did 50 years ago and “it’s very likely to get worse in the future". Carbon Brief also looked at the findings in a wider article focused on a stunning new Nasa animation highlighting how much ice has been lost from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets."
