The article focuses on the impact of climate change on the world's oceans. It cites a report compiled for this journal by Benjamin Hamlington, an ocean scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratorys, which stated that the faster melting of Greenland's ice has increased the rate of ocean's rise to 4.8 millimeters per year.
