The climate change has an impact on many natural disasters. For example, temperature extremes (heatwaves and cold waves), bushfires, sea-level changes, rainfall extremes (extreme wet events and droughts), floods. Global warming in response to accumulation of human-induced greenhouse gasses inside the atmosphere has already caused several visible consequences, among them increase of the Earth's mean temperature and ocean heat content, melting of glaciers, and loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets. Ocean warming and land ice melt in turn are causing sea level to rise. This picture shows the tide gauge-based sea level evolution between 1900 and 2011. Over this time span, the mean rate of rise amounts to 1.65 ± 0.2 mm/yr. Can see that the height of the sea level rise is getting higher every year.
