The video explains global warming and its effects, such as ice melting and rising sea levels. Scientists initially miscalculated sea level rise due to not considering thermal expansion, which accounts for over 50% of the increase. If unchecked, rising sea levels could lead to severe flooding in low-lying areas, highlighting the importance of addressing global warming.
