Sea levels may rise much faster than previously predicted, swamping coastal cities (tr)

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."

Clown news needs to remind everyone how many years it has been since the time algoe said the icecaps would be gone and Florida under water.

They always forget all the panic stricken pronouncements that have been shown to be hysterical BS. Yet, they wonder why no one listens to them.

Here’s a golden oldie!!!

“Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.”

I’m not following you. Why would NASA concoct data that contradicted the GlobalClimateWarmingChange narrative?

Astrology is more credible than climate “science” at this point.

" . . . could rise . . . may rise . . ."

More likely "will rise". Sea levels have risen 400 feet or so in the past 12,000 years and I don't see any reason they should stop. If they do we're in for trouble because it will mean the climate is getting way colder.

Who can depute that this is all true? Look at these frightened residents being rescued from the rising waters in a flooded coastal town (probably New York or Des Moines) It's happening NOW! How can we make it even twelve years?

I lived for 65 years at or near the ocean in Santa Cruz and San Francisco California. Went to the beach every Sunday for 25 years in the summer.

I did not see the ocean raise, other the tide changes, 2 inches in either direction. Was at the ocean four months ago and it’s still the same at the same place as 1953!

Whoops!
Shame on me for not reading your entire post. Sometimes it’s hard for me to take NASA seriously with past mistakes they’ve made.

This site seems to advocate for “climate change” (anti-capitalism).

I saw a map that projected there would be oceanfront property in Cairo, Illinois.

I think dumbasses claiming to be climatologists will rise faster then the sea levels.

That’s OK. There is no doubt at all that NASA has produced some seriously flawed and outright fraudulent data on GCWC. Prof. James Hansen being one of the main fraudsters there.

OTOH they have produced many studies and data sets that totally contradict the whole phony Climate Hoax. I love bookmarking them and tossing the links at libtards on Youtube and Twitter.

NOAA is the same. Lots of fraud mixed in with actual science they can’t hide. IMO NOAA has more fraud and less science than NASA does FWIW.
