The article focuses on the impact of climate change on Louisiana in 2014. Topics include how the state's wetlands protect against hurricanes, the levees built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, and the creation of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, which is a planned diversion of the Mississippi River. Information is provided on how river engineering could help recover land lost to sea level rise.

The article discusses the significance of disaster preparedness to mitigate hurricanes and climate changes. Particular focus is given to topics including inland flooding resulting from rising sea levels, increased risks of storms due to global warming, and regulations for building structures resistant to storms.

The article focuses on the initiatives to reduce the impact of a rise in mean sea level due to global warming on the Pacific Island nations of Kiribati and Tuvalu. It states that a rise of one metre above sea level could put these islands at ground zero. It notes that Australia has provided almost $3 million to the Kiribati Climate Change Adoption Project of the World Bank to reduce the island's vulnerability to climate change and sea-level rise, and $1 million to improve water storage capacity in Tuvalu. Furthermore, it cites that several projects to improve monitoring and prediction of sea level and climate in the South Pacific are being organized.

The author discusses an article published in the magazine "Archaeology" that evaluates the effects that may result from global warming. Climate scientists have implied that the speed and severity of global warming was previously underestimated. Rising sea levels, increased rainfall, and melting ice may have severe impacts on the world's cultural and historical heritage.

The article offers information on several aspects associated with an association of climate change on the rise in the ocean level. The topics addressed include details on the climate models which had consistently projected larger increases in ocean temperatures than those detected in observational studies, a source of frustration to climate scientists.

The article discusses the reports presented by the American news and commentary website CNS News on September 14, 2016, which stated that no rise in sea level has been observed due to the effect of anthropogenic global warming.

The article presents results of a research by Mathew Hauer and colleagues of the University of Georgia, which predicts the factors of sea-water level rise in the U.S. due to human-induced global warming and at risk of inundation.

The article discusses the issue of increase in sea levels due to global warming with focus on island nations such as Tuvalu and the Maldives. It presents views of the President of Kiribati Anote Tong on the rise in sea levels and mentions the purchase of 22 square kilometers of land by Kiribati in Fiji as a refuge for uprooted Kiribati citizens. According to a study, the sandy atoll islands' coral reefs will grow and rise along with the sea level.

The article offers information on global warming evidences stated at the State of the Climate in 2009 report of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA mentions that the report came from the analysis of climate indicators which include humidity, glaciers and ocean heat content. Furthermore, the report shows that the average global temperature has risen by 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since the 1960s and the sea level has risen by 0.125 inch per year since 1995.

The author reports that ice experts are stunned at new data concerning the speed of Arctic melting. He explains how the melting of rotting debris beneath the ice generates carbon dioxide and discusses the release of methane from melting methane ice. He reports that rising Arctic temperatures will cause a surge in sea levels.

The article reports on the study done by Jonathan Bamber of Bristol University on the potential rise in sea level due to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in Antarctica. Previous research claimed that the sea level could only rise by five or six meters if the ice sheets melted, but Bamber found that it will augment at around 3.3 metres. The increase is due to the rising temperature, the movement of the Antarctic continent, and the piling up of water in the northern oceans.

The author discusses the need for the public to acknowledge the environmental and economic impact of global warming. Topics explored include the rising sea level in Florida according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the existence of climate change risk noted by U.S. State Secretary Rex Tillerson, and the recorded effects of increasing global temperatures on Arctic sea ice.
