The Chinese government is dealing with rising sea levels across its coastline, and it has pointed a finger at climate change as the culprit. China’s State Oceanic Administration cites climate change as well as El Nino and La Nina as factors that contributed to the record high sea levels recorded in 2016. The average sea […]

While it has been long known that climate change is effecting sea level rise, it seems that the measurements haven’t been quite accurate over the last century, making recent corrections a cause for alarm. There’s a good reason that “climate change” was previously referred to as “global warming,” because global temperatures are rising. Some have […]

New research published in the journal Nature Climate Change, shows that cutting down short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and soot, could greatly reduce the rate of sea level rise. The study led by Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, estimates that 30 to 60% reduction in emissions of these pollutants by […]

Mahé Perrette, a scientist at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, created a new interactive world map, which identifies areas where sea level rise will be the greatest by 2100. It has been already established that over the past 100 years sea level has been rising unevenly due to the several processes influencing […]

Catastrophic Sea Level Rise Predicted by 2100

Leigh Hutchens — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 06:56:50 +0000

A specially-selected panel of 26 scientific experts is warning that by the end of the century, nearly 200 million people may be forced to leave their homes due to the rising sea level. Melting ice sheets now contribute to 30% of the sea level rise, a marked difference from the 10% in the 1990s. The […]
