Every centimeter of sea-level rise could displace 1.5 million people, and current estimates range from half a meter (1.6 feet) to 2 meters (6.6 feet) by the end of the 21st century—which means that potentially hundreds of millions of people could be affected. A more reliable prediction of sea-level rise is crucial to prepare coastal infrastructure and communities around the world for these changes.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-12T23:00:02+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-12T23:30:12.569919+00:00"}}
