The answer would be no! <br />On August 21, 2020, NASA published an article titled “NASA-led Study Reveals the Causes of <br />Sea Level Rise Since 1900.” It reads: <br />“Sea levels have risen on average 1.6 millimeters (0.063 inches) per year <br />between 1900 and 20184.” <br />That means the sea level has risen a little over 7.4 inches in the last 118 years! Does that show <br />the world is in danger of being engulfed by water? No. It shows that it will be a very, very, very <br />long time before humans are in danger. Does that mean documentaries like “An Inconvenient <br />Truth” are telling lies? <br />An article was published in the Seattle Times on October 12, 2007, titled “British judge ruled the <br />Oscar-winning film on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," contains "nine errors5."” <br />Here is the list of inaccuracies found in Court taken from the “Friends Of Science” website6.

The <br />Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct. <br />2. The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 levels cause <br />temperature increases over 650,000 years. The Court found that the film was misleading: over <br />that period, the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2,000 years. <br />4 “NASA-led Study Reveals the Causes of Sea Level Rise Since 1900,” by Ian J.
