Scientists imagined that the full rise in ocean levels would begin within 30 years, but they found that it has already started, according to research published in 'Nature Climate Change'. German scientist Sonke Dangendorf, together with his team at the Faculty of Siegen, started looking at the oldest data on the level of the spill and the understanding is terrifying.

According to the research, the tendency that they were observing today dates back to the 1960s and that nowadays the situation is much more tense than one imagines. It is estimated that during the last century, the oceans have risen by more than 20 centimeters, something that may seem small, but it is a lot and can cause tragedies around the world, affecting millions of individuals.

The melting of mountain glaciers and similarly the ice sheets of Greenland, as well as Antarctica, is helping to reinforce the volume of the shedding and if it continues at this pace, it will be able to change pace this century as well.

The result of this would soon be apparent especially in coastal cities and similarly in island nations; remembering that the difficulty can be multiplied by four during periods of hangovers, when the mood is high.

It is worth noting that since 1993 the spill level has been safe with a fairly high definition thanks to the use of sophisticated satellites. In the case of Dangendorf, he and his team combined two techniques to analyze data from tide gauges that are spread around the world, in this way they were able to re-establish the understanding that the level of spillage has been increasing since 1900, with precipitation beginning more accurately. in 1960.
