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.

Normally I wouldn't bother but I figured some of us need a good chuckle this morning. I didn't bother to count the "could, may, might, if, possible, would, should" words in this tripe. On the plus side, if your city never hosted a jerkfest like cop29 you "should" be safe from inundation. Did not see a mention of how much muvver erf has warmed since the last ice age not that long ago in the scheme of things. Or even how much it warmed from then until just before "industrial" levels. I really REALLY dislike these assclowns. Sadly, there are plenty fidiots that buy this crap.

Well, at least for the US, other than the Florida Panhandle, what’s the downside?

and how the window to slash climate pollution is “rapidly narrowing.”


And the focus group says:

Now it is climate pollution.

If the Poles melted wouldn’t everything at the Equator burst into flames or would it rain like never before with all the new clouds that cooled the planet and freeze the poles ,LOL

It’s a great visual— Dubai’s “Palm” island built at current sea level— inundated by the coming Ice Age. The meme should show mile wide very flat beaches so one could walk from “frond” to frond and on the outside have to walk a mile to get to sea water.

Either way— Dubai is a liar in chief on “globull warming” climate change concern from an OIL rich and enriched, nation of do nothings with slave labor forces doing all their work.
Truth. John f’n Kerry likes the place, and so does Kamel Toe.

--- "a new analysis"

That's because the old ones haven't got enough rubes fooled yet. Besides, new analyses mean continued employment for the new analysis writers.

Isn't it interesting that so many institutes and think tanks and media businesses are busy telling what the year after next year will be like, and the century after this one.... It's getting hot and / or cold in here....

ie worthless, make believe fantasies with zero basis in reality.

I predict we could have many terror attacks in the US before Gore’s and Obama’s waterfront mansions are flooded.

BS. Climate Control relies on the UN for its existence and the UN wants to "sell" this crap. Since 1880, we have warmed 1°C. So we have about 350 years before we reach the 3° change these clowns suggest.

https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/edu/teach/activity/graphing-global-temperature-trends/

And that conclusion assumes that nature doesn't reverse the trend by itself as it has in the past. Someone needs to tell Chicken Little (i.e., the UN) to STFU.

It sure would, with Antarctica's average temp. of -47 F, it would have to be a 79 degree rise in temperature just to get to freezing.....LOL!

Back in the 1980’s it was reported that the sea levels were rising and very soon, beachfront properties would be flooded. There is beach erosion but the sea levels are still the same.

This is ridiculous.
