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."

What they are saying in essence is, if things get worse than we predicted, then things will get worse than we predicted.
Jabberwocky.
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings.".
Just another bowl of nonsense from a pot of nonsense.

Like watching Ancient Astronauts on the History Channel. “Some scholars believe that it may be possible that aliens were involved . . . .”

Does anybody notice how most of those spewing this nonsense are living on the coasts?
If they really believed coastal cities would be swamped, why aren't they all selling their houses and condos and moving to the Midwest?

Based on historical evidence the seas will rise and fall and we will have to adapt.

And I wonder how much of this “data” is complete BS and concocted.
NASA has an agenda as well, they know who pays them.
