Other than temperature change, another noticeable effect of global climate change is sea level rise. On average the sea level is rising worldwide, but in some areas its rising faster than others. This is the case along the United States east coast. A stretch of coast line from Cape Hatteras to just north of Boston shows an increase in sea level rise that is 3-4 times that of the global average. According to the researchers, if this acceleration continues New York City could be on track for a 29 centimeter (approx. 11.5 inches) rise in sea level by the year 2100. -NFhttp://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/341723/title/East_Coast_faces_faster_sea_level_rise -- source link
