	The above clip from the documentary The Warming of Connecticut discusses how global warming could alter sea levels, thereby impacting Connecticut's coastline.  



	 



	According to the Union of Concerned Scientists,  under a higher-emissions

	scenario, global sea level is projected to rise between 10 inches and two feet by

	the end of the century.  Seven to 14 inches under  the lower-emissions scenario.  



	 



	These projections do not take into account the recent observed melting of the world's major ice sheets.
