It is estimated on the basis of observed changes since the beginning of this century, that global warming of 1.5 °C to 4.5 °C would lead to a sea-level rise of 20-140 centimeters. A sea level rise in the upper portion of this range would have major direct effects on coastal areas and estuaries. 3, record 2, English, - sea%2Dlevel%20rise

Le changement climatique d’origine humaine est la plus grave des menaces globales auxquelles notre planète est actuellement confrontée. Notre planète se réchauffe : certains gaz que nous émettons en grandes quantités retiennent en effet la chaleur du soleil. Ces gaz proviennent de la combustion massive de charbon, de pétrole et de gaz, mais aussi de l’agriculture et de l’élevage industriels, ainsi que des déforestations. 7, record 3, French, - changement%20climatique%20d%26rsquo%3Borigine%20humaine
