The following submission statement was provided by /u/IntoTheCommonestAsh:
SS: We know the phrase by now: more than expected, faster than expected. Related to collapse, most obviously in the loss of farmland and the displacements this rising sea level will lead to, as well as the neglect for rural areas, and less obviously because it points to the difficulty of measuring these things due to how subtle some effects can be at first, and sea level rise may not look as we expect.
