People living in the\ncoastal will have to face severe flooding, damage to arable land and loss of\nlivelihood. There is no denying of the fact that climate change is playing its\npart in the sea level rise. Any future rise can be avoided if the world\ngovernments can keep the temperature rising to 2 degrees C from the current\naverage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>In News In a reply to a question raised in the Rajya Sabha in the ongoing Parliament session, the government has answered that India is <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.classiciasacademy.com\/blog\/sea-level-rising-at-1-7mm-year-in-india\/\" title=\"Sea Level Rising At 1.7mm\/year in India\">    [read more]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
