A new study warns that even if countries curb their carbon emissions pledge as part of the historic 2015 Paris climate agreement, sea levels will continue to rise.
The research notes that sea levels would rise approximately 20 centimeters by the year 2300 from emissions released between 2016 and 2030, when the Paris Agreement expires.
“Even if we were to meet these initial goals of the Paris agreement, the sea level commitment from global warming will be significant,” said one of the study's co-authors, Oregon State University climate scientist Peter Clark, in a statement. “When we pump more carbon into the atmosphere, the increase in temperature is almost immediate.
The study follows news that the Trump administration has begun the process of pulling out of the landmark 2015 Paris climate agreement.
The study is the first of its kind to "quantify how much sea level would rise from the carbon emissions pledged under the Paris agreement," the statement added. Led by the U.N., the goal of the Paris agreement is to limit the global temperature increase to less than 2 degrees Celsius.
A separate study published in August suggested that sea ice in the Arctic could completely disappear through September each summer if average global temperatures increase by as little as 2 degrees Celsius and climate conditions continue to worsen.

“We can’t point to any rise in the past forty years, but we’ll keep saying it is”
The original estimate was 20 cm PER century. Now it's 20 cm per 300 years?
These people need to get together to coordinate their narrative for consistency.
we are still warming from the end of the last ice age, so yeah... sea levels will rise a bit. It has nothing to do with human or
LMAO co2
Really? So you are going to sell your oceanfront property for cheap?
Didn’t think so. Hypocrites.
Pffft… just invest in shipyards and boat building companies.
You are correct. Less than 8 inches in 281 years.
I just want to know how soon we’ll have beachfront property here in Fresno?
We should CONDEMN and RED TAG ALL Private Property within 5 miles of the Ocean to protect the people living there.
About the same time I do here in Acton
Hey, guess what, we all are going to die.
Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last glacial period, and will continue to rise at a similar rate until the onset of the next glacial period. The current interglacial period is actually quite cool compared to the one before.
20 or 200 centimeters cannot reach the 85 foot and hilly section of Louisiana, but it might just finish Plaquemines Parish, and Baton Rouge, wjhich might clean out the local swamprats there!!
>>Why were sea levels rising for centuries before the industrial revolution? Might there be other causes? (Not considered an acceptable question to ask, I guess.)<<
Prehistoric Fire. Ook Grunt and his fellow cavemen caused all of this.
When did we stop teaching science to our children that we no longer know that melting ice does not raise the water level?
CLIMATE CHANGES... DUH, been doing it long before we were here, will keep doing it as long as the earth exists...
Its damn fortunate the earth has been in such a long temperate period, otherwise we would not be here....
Eventually it will become a giant iceball again....
This song will be an anthem in 5 YEARS:
“Five Years”
Pushing through the market square
So many mothers sighing
News had just come over
We had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TVs
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things
To store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I’d need so many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t a-pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And the queer threw up at the sight of that
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don’t think you knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk
We’ve got five years stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years
I am currently visiting family in Clearwater FL. There is construction everywhere along the waterfronts, and they are numerous down here, from Tampa Bay to the Intercoastal to the Gulf, cranes everywhere you look.
Not just the world’s rivers depositing sediment into the oceans, but erosion of shorelines, underwater volcanoes, oil seepage, etc. that all contribute to an increase in ocean levels that never gets reversed or accounted for in these climate predictions.
