The Mediterranean Sea is predicted to rise by up to 55 inches before 2100, according to the study. Rising sea levels are expected to sink a 176-mile coastline along Italy's west coast, thanks to greenhouse gas emissions.

The research team believes that 33 areas across Italy are at risk from the predicted increase. The report also found that sea levels have risen just 12,4 inches in the last millennium, which makes the predicted rise of 55 inches over the next 100 years seem pretty terrifying.
