COLOMBIA: Rising Sea Levels Threaten Latin American Coastal Cities.
LATIMES/
A World Bank study states that the effects of global warming already seen in Latin American coastal cities could worsen in coming decades because sea levels will rise highest near the equator. Latin and Caribbean cities especially at risk include Veracruz, Mexico; Georgetown, Guyana; and Guayaquil, Ecuador.
"The projections are based on assumptions generally accepted by the scientific community and do not include the cataclysmic effects of possible advanced ice melting in the Antarctic or Greenland."
