Most of all, there are a lot of cities on the coast: for example LA, NY, Lisbon, Sydney, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro. Those cities have a big population. If the sea level rises, people will have to move away from those cities (and if it rises rapidly, they might die in the flood). 

Further, it could contaminate our storages of drinking water (sea water is salty and can't be drunk).

Also, it will mean less land, which also means less land for agriculture.

You hear someone screaming for help. which example best illustrates your assumption of responsibility to intervene as a bystande
Levart [38]

Bystander Intervention is recognizing a potentially harmful situation or interaction and choosing to respond in a way that could positively influence the outcome.

1. You hear someone screaming for help.  It illustrates your assumption of responsibility to intervene as a bystander.

In order to act a bystander must satisfy five stages.

1. Identifying the event as a problem condition.

2. Interpreting the even as an emergency

3. Assuming responsibility to act.

4. Know what should be done in a situation.

5. Decide to help the victim.

The first option is incorrect because the bystander has failed to recognize it as a problem.

The second option is incorrect because the bystander has not decided to offer help.

The third option is incorrect because the bystander has no idea what to do in the situation.

The fourth option is correct because the bystander has satisfied all the above five steps. and he has called the authorities.
