The subject of this news did not contain a very specific vocabulary that I did not understand.

Text commentary 

I have chosen this news because climate change is a serious problem that affects the whole world and is increasing day by day. Sometimes it may be that not all the serious consequences of this problem are perceived, so that the need to act is not felt. Precisely, the news seems especially important to me, because it tells us how climate change affects very distant regions in a particularly dramatic way. For example, the increase in temperature increases the risk of a rise in sea level, a situation that can be aggravated by the associated phenomenon of glacier loss and ice accumulations in Antarctica and Greenland. This situation may result in the displacement of millions of people from their homes as a result of the flooding of cities and farming areas near the coast.

As I said the news refers, specifically, the effects of climate change on the oceans, but I think that alerts on a situation that affects the entire planet in general.

In my opinion, this kind of news brings knowledge to society about the existence of concrete and serious problems from a scientific point of view. This is news that should serve to make the population aware of the knowledge of the terrible consequences of climate change around the world. Maybe this way you can get a social mobilization that serves to start respecting the environment for the benefit of all.
