WHATEVER we do now, the seas will rise at least 5 meters.
Most of Florida and many other low-lying areas and cities around the world are
doomed to go under. If that weren’t bad enough, without drastic cuts in global
greenhouse gas emissions – more drastic than any being discussed ahead of the
critical climate meeting in Paris later this year – a rise of over 20 meters
will soon be unavoidable.
After speaking to the researchers behind a series of recent
studies, New Scientist has made the first calculations of what their findings
mean for how much sea level rise is already unavoidable, or soon will be.
Much uncertainty still surrounds the pace of future rises,
with estimates for a 5-metre rise ranging from a couple of centuries to much sooner and more drastic.
This isn’t just some conspiracy theory as some right wingers
would have you believe, this is coming from NEW SCIENTIST!!!!
