We know seas are rising and we know why. The urgent questions are by how much and how quickly.

This animation shows how global sea levels have risen more than 80 millimeters (3.15 inches) over the past three decades, which is like covering the U.S. in about 4 meters (about 13 feet) of water over that period.
