The coastal areas of the earth are under serious threat due to global warming. Justify the statement.

Answer:

Rise in global temperature is causing deleterious changes in the environment resulting in odd climatic changes (EI Nino effect). It leads to melting of ice caps as well as of Himalayan snow caps. Over many years, this will result in a rise in sea level that may submerge many coastal areas. Hence, it is a threat to coastal areas.
