More than half of Antarctica's ice shelves could collapse by 2300 – sparking 32 FEET of irreversible global sea level rise, scientists warn

Cities and towns around the world could be plunged underwater in just 275 years, a new study has warned.

Scientists from Sorbonne University in Paris predict that up to 59 per cent of Antarctica's ice shelves could collapse by 2300.

If this happens, it will result in up to 10 metres (32ft) of irreversible global sea–level rise.

Here in the UK, Hull, Glasgow, and Bristol would be submerged, while over in the US, people living in Houston, New Orleans, and Miami would be forced to move inland.

This might sound like something from the latest science fiction blockbuster.

However, the experts say it could become a reality if greenhouse gas emissions continue to skyrocket.

Antarctica is home to 15 major ice shelves and many smaller ones.

As the floating margins of the Antarctic ice sheet, these ice shelves are crucial for controlling ice loss.

'As they restrain the ice flow from the grounded ice sheet to the ocean through so–called buttressing, they represent a safety band around Antarctica,' the researchers, led by Clara Buggered, explained in their study, published in Nature.

'Their thinning and eventual collapse hence accelerates ice discharge into the ocean.'

But...but...butt.... what if we have another ICE AGE in 2267? What do the “scientist experts” say about that?

irreversible

Tremendous ignorance of geological time. We are currently in a warm period within an Ice Age. You would not want to see a cold period within this Ice Age. But it will happen. And then your sea level rise will be reversible.

Woohoo! Now you can go back to the battle of Thermopylae, Greece and see the ocean AT the battle site, rather than 1.5km away.

Could?

And then again, maybe not. BS articles like this are designed to stoke fear and motivate leftwing political action for today.

Whew! 275 years gives us plenty of time to move to the mountains. What a relief! But of course those who live in poverty have no clue how to move, so they’re SOL.

Well, at least the scam has realized that theywe must make these projections to occur in 275 years, since all of their preictions that were more imminent failed to be even remototely close to the reality.

The two most frequent words found in any article predicting global warming and/or some type of related catastrophe...”could” and “might”.
