Scientists working on the indoor microcosms experiments in Gran Canaria have warned about rising sea levels after startling discoveries. After placing bottles into tanks, it was observed that the water level rose by a couple of centimetres.

Bottles in microcosms lead to startling discoveries.

Marine Chemist Maria Müller warned, “These are only a few bottles causing a significant rise in water level. Imagine thousands of people all entering the sea at once up to their necks”.

Further experiments into rising sea levels.

She went on to add that a significant increase due to humans in the sea would have a serious impact on low-lying areas. These results from Gran Canaria echo those already reported in 2014 from the USA (http://www.theonion.com/articles/report-ocean-levels-could-rise-foot-or-more-if-lot,35485/) indicating the pressing nature of this issue.
