Sea levels are rising faster than previously predicted, according to a new U.N. study released Wednesday. The U.N. team found that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s estimate that sea levels would rise by about two millimeters a year was “biased low.”
The group, which presented its findings in a peer-reviewed study, found that sea levels are actually rising by 3.2 millimeters a year-or 60 percent faster than previously expected.
