Significant sea-level rise in a 2-degree warming world
Sea levels around the world can be expected to rise by several meters in coming centuries, if global warming carries on
The study is the first to give a comprehensive projection for this long perspective, based on observed sea-level rise over the past millennium, as well as on scenarios for future greenhouse-gas emissions.
“Sea-level rise is a hard to quantify, yet critical risk of climate change,” says Michiel Schaeffer of Climate Analytics and Wageningen University, lead author of the study. “Due to the long time it takes for the world’s ice and water masses to react to global warming, our emissions today determine sea levels for centuries to come.”
Smoking crack on an empty head is never a good idea. These guys are just crazy.
Of course, this assumes the totally discredited models are correct. And of course, that sea levels start rising much faster than the current 1mm per year. Why, at that rate we could see almost 4 inches of rise by the end of the century. IF there was any validity to the high positive feedback climate models showing CO2 as a major greenhouse gas.
