Global warming is a slow and steady rise in Earth's surface temperature. Temperatures today in the planet are much higher than 150 years ago. Many scientists say that in the next 100–200 years, temperatures will increase at a higher rate. One of the most noticeable changes by this increase in temperature is the melting of ice caps all around the world. The sea level is rising steadily as a result from the continental ice melting into the sea. Because of this, many cities are soon to be partially submerged in the ocean.
