Environment & Ecology / Climate warming | | English term or phrase: unravel (in this context) | | Siguiendo con el documento sobre el calentamiento global, dice "as temperatures rise, creeping seas levels are just one of the threats that could wreak havoc on the region.... and unravel its recent economic and social progress." Conozco el término como desenredar, desenmarañar pero no se aplican aquí y no sé si cabría "poner en ligro". Gracias anticipadas por vuestra ayuda. |
