What sea level rise will look like in cities that have hosted climate summits
cnn.com ^ | 12/3/2023 0400 | rachel ramirez

As global leaders and delegates gather in Dubai for the annual UN climate summit, a new analysis shows how the host cities of previous summits could be inundated — if not entirely submerged — by rising ocean waters.

The relentless rise of planet-warming pollution has already resulted in severe droughts, deadly floods and rapid melting of glaciers and ice around the world. And scientists say the steady climb of global sea level will continue for many decades as temperatures crank higher.

The analysis from Climate Central, a nonprofit climate research group, illustrates the risk if countries fail to halt the planet’s precipitous warming trend. A recent UN report showed the world is currently on track to warm up to 2.9 degrees.

Using peer-reviewed sea level rise projections and local elevation from Climate Central’s models, the findings show compelling visuals that paint a stark contrast between the world as we know it and our high-tide future, if the planet warms to 3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Fearmongering is perhaps the greatest tool of the Left.

All variants of “Do as we say, and no one gets hurt.”

Climate Central founded by Jane Lubchenko who is now at the Biden White House.
Report: According to the National Academy of Sciences, Jane Lubchenco, a renowned marine biologist and White House climate adviser, was sanctioned for five years for errors in a published paper she edited in 2020. The organization has barred her from publishing in its acclaimed journal and participating in group activities.
The move relates to Lubchenco’s editing of a paper about fisheries that was later retracted. Journal editors reviewed the paper after publication and found data errors that overestimated the potential impact of expanding ocean fishery protections. Editors also noted that Lubchenco had a personal relationship with one of the article’s authors – a violation of the journal’s editorial policies.

These places were supposed to be underwater by 2000. We were being screamed at then by 2000 this would happen.

Peer reviewed sea level predictions just means that they all agree with each other. I don’t think even one peer actually thinks sea levels are going down. Meanwhile the sea levels don’t rise in any perceptible way. We have only predictions that begin tomorrow and then accelerate rapidly.

Well we know that certain locations around the world will be spared!

Montecito area property with ocean-views will be fine thanks to Al Gore owning a house there.

Rehoboth Beach will be fine thanks to Joe Biden owning a house there.

Thanks for the efforts of Barack, both Martha's Vineyard and Waimanalo on the island of Oahu will be spared!

Note that Martha’s Vineyard has double protect thanks to also having John Kerry's beach front home....

“Since 1880, we have warmed 1°C.”

And we know that temperature measurements in1880 were accurate to the tenth of a degree, not to mention scrupulous calibration across all measurement devices and impeccable record keeping LOL.

Seas have risen before. Humans moved inland. We’re clever that way on our good days.

But when rising sea levels are mentioned, I like to bring up The Broomway, a path and right-of-way in England that gets flooded by high tides twice a day, making it rather hazardous. It’s been in use for the last 6 or 7 hundred years.

Exactly what it looks like right now.

In other words, nothing will change.

Probably in a couple of thousand years. The sea level has been rising steadily for millennia as the last of the continental glacier meltout continues far into the future, or at least until the orbit configuration of the earth reaches the point that begins to actually cool the planet.

Sea level rises steadily at a measurably though miniscule rate as it has done for millennia.

To these jerk-offs “peer” reviewed mean two jerks agree with each other. Science is never involved. Nor facts. Etc

This is impossible because these cities were already flooded by the Glowbull Warming predicted in the 1990s.
