"NASA's Chilling Animation Depicts 30 Years of Rising Seas"

NASA has released an animation showing the rise in sea levels over the past 30 years, which has been monitored by satellites. The animation shows that sea levels have risen by over 9 centimeters (about 3.5 inches) in that time. Rising seas are expected to impact millions of people, with coastlines disappearing unless emissions are drastically cut down to zero. The animation is designed to be seen through a circle, using the visual metaphor of looking out the porthole of a boat and watching years of sea level rise transpire.
