Global sea level is rising. But it doesn't happen at the same rate everywhere
Greenland’s ice loss
causes local sea level
to go down
The darker blue colours show where sea level rises most as Greenland loses ice. The red shows where the sea level goes down
Far side areas, like
the Marshall Islands,
see a bigger than
