Now believed to be an elaborate calendar and astronomical device, the Antikythera Mechanism harbours its mystery within its intricate inner…

onto the land as ice. This ice sheet build up has drastically lowered worldwide sea level. Throughout the shorter, hotter, breaks called interglacials, the ice sheets have degenerated, and with the water from the glaciers melting and draining back into the oceans, the sea level has increased. Since the coldest part of the last ice age that happened about twenty thousand years ago, to now in the present day, worldwide sea…

Sea level continues to rise in recent years, but also that the rate gradually accelerated, according to some data of observations. Sea level is rising primarily because as global temperatures increase, oceans are warming, which causes sea water to expand; and land ice is melting, which transfers water to the ocean. The rise of sea level will increase the risk of the coastal inundation. “Climate change will not introduce any new types of coastal hazard” (Manatu Mo Te Taiao, 2004), but the climate…

One of the great strengths of this book is that Hansen is an expert in the climate change field and provides facts to back up his predictions. However, at…
