One serious effect of global warming that is widely believed to be possible is a worldwide rise in sea level of perhaps 1 to 5 meters (3 to 16 feet). People living near coasts would face danger from rising seas. The danger would not be from constant inundation, because sea level would rise very gradually over years, allowing people time to relocate, raise structures, or build dikes. The danger would be from occasional severe storms that would cause sudden flooding farther inland. The Dutch have shown that well built dikes can hold back the sea, but poorer countries cannot afford such protection.

a. Serious effects of global warming could be rising sea levels of 1 to 5 meters (3 to 16 feet) and severe storms that could cause sudden flooding. b.

The people living inland would not face severe danger because most of the flooding would be along the coastlines. d. The Dutch instigated the idea of building dikes to control flooding if global warming continues.
