When the glaciers melt, this is releasing water into the oceans, which then results in the growth in sea level itself. Overall, this is a threat to coastal communities and can even cause saltwater intrusion. Almost half of the world’s population lives within an hour from the ocean, which then puts millions of lives and property in danger.
