Environmental Impact Assessment: Higher seas: a clear and present danger to Taiwan

In almost every part of the world, the mean sea level (MSL) is rising for three reasons, all of which are linked to the planet getting hotter. Firstly, water expands as it heats up. Secondly, glaciers around the world are in retreat. Thirdly, the ice sheets that cover Greenland and Antarctica are shrinking, and scientists fear they could collapse with catastrophic consequences for oceanfront cities throughout the world.
In August last year, the Taiwan branch of Greenpeace, the global non-governmental environmental organization, warned that, by 2050, close to 4 percent of the country’s land could be inundated due to rising sea
