Sea-level accelerating faster than previously thought: study

The video discusses the historical and recent trends in sea level rise, highlighting a minimal increase from 1900 to 1990, followed by a more significant rise of 1.2 inches per decade. This increase is attributed to global warming, specifically the thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. Additionally, human activities such as irrigation projects contribute to the faster flow of water from land to ocean.
