Global sea levels have risen 4 inches since 1993, with the pace accelerating. By 2050, a rise of at least 6 inches is expected globally, with some U.S. areas seeing up to 12 inches. This is due to oceans absorbing 90% of excess heat from global warming, causing water expansion and melting glaciers. High-tide flooding is 2-3 times more frequent than in 1990, and some regions like Louisiana are experiencing even faster sea-level rise. The future depends on current actions to mitigate further sea-level rise.
