Here's how rising seas could swallow up these coastal cities
Description: It's one thing to read about rising sea levels - quite another to watch as rising seas inundate low-lying regions to reshape familiar coastlines. That's just what you can do with EarthTime, a new online tool that blends satellite photos of Earth with data from university research programs, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations to create eye-popping animations showing how seas rise in tandem with temperatures to swallow up low-lying areas. It's not a pretty picture. [Source: NBC News]
