Comments show that his presentation is easy to understand for non-scientists and without political bias. In 2022 Englander received considerable attention for the role he played in changing the position of New York Times columnist Bret Stephens about the severity and risks related to global warming and rising sea level.

Comparison of two sea level reconstructions during the last 500 Myr: Exxon curve and Hallam curve. The scale of change during the last glacial/interglacial transition is indicated with a black bar. The sea-level curve (also known as the eustatic curve) is the representation of the changes of the sea level relative to present day mean sea level ...
In sharp contrast, the period between 14,300 and 11,100 years ago, which includes the Younger Dryas interval, was an interval of reduced sea level rise at about 6.0–9.9 mm/yr. Meltwater pulse 1C was centered at 8,000 years ago and produced a rise of 6.5 m in less than 140 years, such that sea levels 5000 years ago were around 3m lower than ...
The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca), [2] also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week in April 1916. The Rising was launched by Irish republicans against British rule in Ireland with the aim of establishing an independent Irish Republic while the United Kingdom was fighting the First World War.
Image showing sea level change during the end of the last glacial period. Meltwater pulse 1A is indicated. Meltwater pulse 1A (MWP1a) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise, between 14,700 and 13,500 years ago, during which the global sea level rose between 16 meters (52 ft) and 25 meters (82 ft) in ...
Climate scientists with Climate Central have curated a collection of animated models showing us what 196 cities will look like if global temperatures continue to increase, causing sea levels to rise.
That reduced the world's ocean basin capacity and caused a rise in sea level worldwide. As a result of the sea level rise, the oceans transgressed completely across the central portion of North America and created the Western Interior Seaway from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. The opposite of transgression is regression where the sea ...
Despite President Gayoom having spoken in the past about the impending dangers to his country, [11] the Maldives, Mörner concluded that the people of the Maldives have in the past survived a higher sea level about 50–60 cm (1.6–2.0 ft), and there is evidence of a significant sea level fall in the last 30 years in that Indian Ocean area.
