The primary cause of accelerating sea level rise is human activity As people burn fossil fuels and emit heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, our atmosphere and our oceans warm up. First, we don’t know how much more carbon dioxide, methane, and other heat-trapping gases humanity will emit in the coming decades.
