Greenhouse gases such as methane and co2 build up in the earths atmosphere because the ozone layer keeps it in. These gases are from the breaking down of artificial and natural substances as well as burning of coal. Because of this build up the earths weather patterns change and hence, temperature increases. This causes polar ice caps to melt as the temperature is rising above 0 degrees Celsius. Thus, the water levels are rising.

The temperature is rising which makes the Artic and Antarctic ice melt, rising the sea levels.
