Do some research and cite other factors in climate besides CO2 levels that would support or detract from the idea of global warming and sea-level rise.
Using Internet sources, tell what the expected rise in sea level is by the year 2050 and discuss at least three major ways this will affect islands or coastal areas. quote Al Gore if you like but let's leave Donald Trump out of it.
Think about places like Florida, Louisiana, and many small island nations in the Pacific. Not to mention NYC and read the article about Norfolk "Built on Sinking Ground" an area many of you know well.
Ask yourselves: what can the Dutch do that we couldn't do after you read the attached articles. Please open and read all of these articles.
I would also like to recommend the excellent book on this topic by John McPhee called: "The Control of Nature". It's a great book and would be useful for anybody taking environmental studies/policy or disaster management courses (great basis for a research paper, hint, hint). It covers exactly what happened along the Mississippi River in 2011.
