Global sea levels could rise more than two meters (6.6 feet) by the end of this century if emissions continue unchecked, swamping major cities such as New York and Shanghai and displacing up to 187 million people, a new study warns.
The study, which was released Monday, says sea levels may rise much faster than previously estimated due to the accelerating melting of ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica.
The international researchers predict that in the worst case scenario under which global temperatures increase by 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100, sea levels could rise by more than two meters (6.6 feet) in the same period -- double the upper limit outlined by the UN climate science panel's last major report.
Such a situation would be "catastrophic," the authors of the study warn.
"It really is pretty grim," lead author Jonathan Bamber, a Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Bristol told CNN. "Two meters is not a good scenario."

Owww, owwwww!!! CLIMAGEDDON NEWS NETWORK. Oh, wait that’s the weather channel aka “Cli-Fi Network”.
No they are only a bit off ‘cause when the 2 km high glaciers melt, then sea level will rise over 400 feet. Now your scared, eh?
No, wait. It was all supposed to happen before 2000. Then before 2011. Now, it’s gonna be 2021??? But it’s “much faster than expected!!” The only people who could believe this new looming catastrophe are very, very young or have amnesia.
Aren’t all our major coastal cities DemocRat hellholes? This is exceedingly good news, as long as we make them migrate to other countries.
Get a load of this 8 paragraphs into the article:
“While the authors acknowledge that the chance of a worst-case scenario could be small, around 5%, they say it should not be discounted.”
We need to get those nuclear plants online.
So, how deep in fly-over country?
I need to know so I can request either regular wader boots or high wader boots — for my 160ieth birthday.
” ... and then again, they may not.”
Well Sareena you better pack up your things, sell your home and head for the hills.
Where has it risen? No where.
Where’s the “Aw , not this $hit again” guy?
And the downside would be?
CNN of course. I expect nothing less than the usual ignorant hysteria from that collection of morons.
Sea level is falling as one would predict from the ice accumulation in Greenland and Antarctica.

... and they may not not. Doesn’t matter, give us your stuff.
How much money are these Climate Terrorists getting Paid by George SoreA$$, to lie about Gorebull warming?
“You don't capitulate to young voters because they have been brainwashed into believing that mankind is driving a climate 'crisis,'” said Marc Morano. “You lead and reveal to them that what they think they know just ain't so.”
Thanks to Hot Hunt and others for the above realities versus the end of humans due to Gorebull Warming BS Predictions.
Lol. ‘We’ve been wrong a hundred times but we are right this time’.
There is that slippery little word “May.” That word along with “Might” and “Possibly” is proof that the writer is making up a story out of whole cloth.
In other words lying.
Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.
From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.
The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.
Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising
