More and more sea level rise

 Data from NASA shows worrying levels of sea-level rise. This is explained in a detailed article at Universe Today which begins:

"It probably comes as no surprise to people living in low-lying coastal regions, but sea waters are rising by large, measurable amounts. That assessment comes from NASA, which has analyzed 30 years of sea-level satellite measurements. The news is not good. Since 1993, the seas rose by a total of 9.1 centimeters. Two years ago, it went up by 0.27 centimeters."

More and more greenhouse gases

 It is reported by NOAA that these gases continue to be emitted at dangerous levels. According to a press release:

"Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide, the three greenhouse gases emitted by human activity that are the most significant contributors to climate change, continued their historically high rates of growth in the atmosphere during 2022, according to NOAA scientists."
