So some rough calculations shows that raising sea level .5 cm would give an extra 3044143911700 liters of water in the oceans. Also, studies show that producing 1 kilogram of almonds consumes 10240 liters of water, and that a single almond tree can produce 50 kilograms of almonds per year.
All this means that we could offset .5 cm of rise by planting about 5.9 million almond trees!

Nothing ever disappears.
