The increase in temperature causes the melting of glaciers. If temperatures continue to rise, glaciers will continue to melt and some may disappear completely. As a result, sea levels will rise, causing risks for many cities, especially those close to the ocean. Cities near the sea will be swept away and may disappear completely. According to Brandon Baker, author of Ecowatch, he argues that “The rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is projected to lead to at least 4 feet of global sea level rise over the next two-plus centuries, and at least 10 feet from then on” (How the Melting Antarctic Ice Sheet Will Reshape These 14 U.S. Coastal Attractions, par. 2). Cities like New York, New Orleans and Miami would be submerged
