Climate change is a global challenge, directly affecting ecosystems, environmental resources, and human life. One of its consequences is the problem of sea and ocean surface area, sea level is increasing day by day. In the long term, global mean sea level will continue to change continuously. The birth of the industrial revolution has made the Earth warmer and warmer, followed by many different causes leading to the rapid increase of global sea level: melting ice, expansion of the sea. water and changes in the Earth's climate system, costing the global economy trillions of dollars with many development consequences. Climate change causes the rise of sea levels in the oceans Pham Ha Trang, Do Anh Tuan, Do Thi Huong Tra, Le Thi Thanh Truyen, Le Thu Trang, Nguyen Minh Truc, Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Vu Thi Linh Trang, Cao Thuy Trang, Tran Thi Quynh Trang.

Global warming by industrial emissions; Unsustainable use of groundwater, blocking of water in artificial lakes, industrial production, deforestation, the use of harmful gases are the main reasons for high CO2 emissions. Moreover, melting ice increases global warming. This is because ice reflects more sunlight than water, so in the absence of sea ice, the ocean would absorb more heat and become warmer. In addition, as the earth's temperature warms, the sea water will expand with the temperature, causing the water level to rise. Figure 2. The fact that ice melts and industrial emissions lead to global warming.

High intensity soil deforms the Earth's crust, the ratio of salt water - fresh water on Earth, ... Global warming has been identified as the main cause of melting glaciers, thereby causing sea levels to rise…(Hà Anh, 2021; Nguyễn Luận, 2019; Phương, 2019). The rapid increase in sea surface area and sea level leads to heavy losses in all aspects: - Environment: The number of extreme natural phenomena such as heavy rain, thunderstorms, floods, droughts, forest fires, tornadoes, heat waves or severe cold is increasing; populations of special-use and rare species of flora and fauna are increasingly depleted and in danger of extinction;...

According to data from the UK NGO Oxfam, developing economies could lose $1700 billion a year by 2050 (CTV Lê Ngọc, 2021). - Society: Saltwater intrusion in coastal areas narrows the agricultural land area and increases the sea surface area, greatly affecting the labor structure in society (Nguyễn Thị Lan, 2019).

To sum up, humanity must collaborate to find effective solutions to climate change in this century. Building an environmental culture with the participation of businesses (entrepreneur s), using 3D creativity mechanism will be the key to this problem (Vuong, Q. H., 2022; Q.-H. Vuong, 2021; Q. H. Vuong, 2021) . Despite the fact that the entire world has become more aware of the consequences of climate change, there is no way to guarantee the future without the combined efforts and serious actions of the world’s leading nations.

How would sea level change if all glaciers melted? | U.S. Geological Survey Skip to main content # How would sea level change if all glaciers melted? There is still some uncertainty about the full volume of glaciers and ice caps on Earth, but if all of them were to melt, global sea level would rise approximately 70 meters (approximately 230 feet), flooding every coastal city on the planet.

What are the impacts of glacier loss, other than losing an aesthetic landscape feature? Glaciers act as reservoirs of water that persist through summer. Continual melt from glaciers contributes water to the ecosystem throughout dry months, creating perennial stream habitat and a water source for plants and animals. The cold runoff from glaciers also affects downstream water temperatures. Many aquatic species in mountainous environments require cold wate
