It is a burden for the 163 million Bangladeshi . It is apart of everyday life there. Bangladesh will be under water in just a matter of a few years, unless someone comes up with a plan to stop or delay the constant worry of sea Levels rising. 
Due to the very low elevation or Bangladesh, every year about 18% of the country is lost due to rising sea levels.
Due to the decreasing land, millions of Bangladeshis are relocating to different country's.

Some people may think it’s something non-existent and a thing they will never encounter. Despite the belief that it’s not your problem, it is. In the next decade, the city next to yours, or even the one you live in could be a thing of the past due to the continuously rising sea levels. 

The main cause of the level rising is due to global warming. Because of global warming glaciers are melting. Everyday tons of ice is falling into the ocean and causing sea levels too rise up dramatically. For the past 20 years on average the sea rises 3.4 millimeters. That's roughly 2 times the amount of the preceding 80 years.

The most recent years people have released enormous amounts of harmful gases into the atmosphere. This has made the temperature on the surface warmer than usual. The sea absorbs about 80% of that heat. 

Because of this warming sensation our ice caps are melting at an alarming rate.Glaciers are one of the largest contributing factors in rising sea levels today.
The Antarctic and Greenland's ice sheets contain 90% of Earths fresh water supply. If those sheets were to melt it would rise the sea levels by approximately 200 feet (60 meters). The Greenland ice cap moves a rate of 113 feet per day. Which means that over 20 million tons of ice is falling into the ocean everyday. That's the equivalent to 12 trillion gallons of fresh water dumped into our ocean, every year, contributing the rising sea levels.]]> 2017-11-15 03:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarietop/16rfakfogpp6/wish/207037793 annamarietop https://padlet.com/annamarietop/16rfakfogpp6/wish/207046077 Florida is a great example of the sea levels rising right here in America. 
Some 2.4 million people and 1.3 million homes, nearly half the risk nationwide, sit within 4 feet of local high tide line.
Sea level rise is more than doubling the risk of a storm surge at this level in south Florida by 2030.]]> 2017-11-15 04:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarietop/16rfakfogpp6/wish/207046077 annamarietop https://padlet.com/annamarietop/16rfakfogpp6/wish/207046437 Though no one has come up with any great solution to this horrendous problem, there is many ways to prepare. 

First would be to just obviously, leave and go to somewhere with higher elevation.
You could build sturdy walls that could hold tons of ocean water from flooding where you are.
Then there's a solution that would have to include everyone and would lead to different habits for most people. Cutting down pollution from factories and other establishments that let harmful gases into the atmosphere. That also means recycling. Being more cautious about what we do to the Earth could slow down the process of melting glaciers, and global warming.]]> 2017-11-15 04:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/annamarietop/16rfakfogpp6/wish/207046437
