NASA Analysis Shows Irreversible Sea Level Rise in Pacific Islands
NASA analysis shows irreversible sea level rise in Pacific islands as climate change rapidly changes a region of the world home to millions of people. Over the next 30 years, Pacific island nations such as Tuvalu, Kiribati and Fiji will see sea levels rise by at least 6 inches (15 centimeters), according to an analysis by NASA’s Sea Level Change Science Group. That level of rise would occur regardless of whether greenhouse gas emissions change in the coming years.
Spain suffered from DANA
The rushing water turned narrow streets into death traps and created rivers that tore through homes and businesses, sweeping away cars, people and everything else in their path. The floods destroyed bridges and left roads unrecognizable. With record-breaking temperatures across the Mediterranean and a year’s worth of rainfall in a matter of hours, Spain was hit by a weather phenomenon known as DANA. A freak weather phenomenon known as DANA caused catastrophic flooding in Valencia, Spain in late October 2024. More than 155 people were killed and dozens more were missing in what meteorologists are calling one of the worst natural disasters in recent memory.
