NASA | Earth Science Week: Melting Ice, Rising Seas

The video discusses the gradual rise of sea levels due to global warming, highlighting the expansion of ocean water and melting of glaciers and ice sheets as primary causes. It emphasizes the importance of understanding ice sheet dynamics and the potential consequences of rising sea levels on coastal regions and ecosystems. The video also addresses the challenges in predicting future sea level changes and the need for reducing human impact on the planet.

Why are the polar regions important in the context of global climate change?
