Hi Duane!
This animation is only a game. What you can do in GE. BUT!
There are any possibilities to rising sea level, because of the weather. The average of the temperature is rising > the snow-melting and ice caps at the polars rises the level of the sea.
What causes the warming? It's much more difficult. Maybe the greenhouse effect.
A lot of people working on to stop, or reduce greenhouse effect.
So that's all...
