US Alert: Six Feet rise in Sea Level Expected

Alarming reports flood the US society. A recent study by a group of scientists has reported that there will be drastic resonation in the climate of the continent. The experts have studied the history of the climatic changes in the continent and have reported that worse conditions will make their way in the continent.

Scorching heat, heavy floods and rainfall, i.e, the extremes of both the faces will alter the conditions in the city. Estimation of the temperature rise over this century has revealed a rise of 8.8 degrees Fahrenheit in average temperatures by 2080. Assessment of previous studies has showed that since 1900 the temperatures in Central Park rose by 3.4 degrees F, and the average increase rate every ten years has been 0.3 degrees F. The panel has concluded that the temperatures will rise by 4.1 to 5.7 degrees F by the middle of our century and by 2080 the temperatures will increase by 8.8 degrees F.

The studies of the climatic conditions by the experts indicate that there would be a drastic increase of about six feet in the sea level, which would almost flood the city, by around a century. The earlier reports that showed two to four feet rise was over-ridden by the recent reports that show a shocking prediction of a six feet rise.

These reports have given a warning call to the citizens as well as the government as 26,000 ft of sand has already been used by the municipality for the protection of Staten Island's shorelines and with the climate worsening there will be a need of intensified measures. The Federal Emergency Wing has pulled-up their socks to fight against these upcoming horrors.

Now the time is for the citizens to wake up for the call and do the needful to protect mother 'Nature'.
