You can't [hold:nod] back the tide or sea level rise. There's melting ice, of course. But H2O that's already liquid expands as it warms - and the oceans are warming from climate change. That sea level rise isn't the same [everywhere:gobally] . The moon's pull, oceanic currents, the Earth's [rotation:revolution] - these all play a role in what ocean water is where. Turns out the U.S East Coast is experiencing sea level rise three to four times higher than the global average, according to a [study:research] in the journal Nature Climate Change. That's bad news for the highly populated vision region and suggests storm surges are going to prove ever more problematic from New York City to Cape Hatteras. By the end of the century, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could [produce:introduce] sea-level rise of as much as [centimeters:80-centis] along the East Coast.
