Sea Level Rise Expected to Accelerate Even if Warming Is Limited to 1.5C: Study

Rising Seas Could Displace Millions, Triggering Global Migration Crisis, Study Warns

Scientists issue a dire warning that even the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming target is too high and will have catastrophic consequences for coastal populations.

Sea level rise expected to accelerate even if warming is limited to 1.5C: Study

Rising seas will severely test humanity's resilience in the second half of the 21st century and beyond, even if nations defy the odds and cap global warming at the ambitious 1.5 degrees Celsius target, researchers said Tuesday.

Scientists Issue Dire Warning: Oceans Rising Twice as Fast, Even If Climate Goals Are Met

Even if the world meets its most optimistic climate goals, rising sea levels will likely intensify throughout the 21st century and beyond, reshaping coastlines and threatening hundreds of millions of lives. A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment warns that keeping global warming below 1.5°C, the aspirational target of the 2015 Paris Agreement, will not prevent significant and accelerating ocean encroachment. Drawing on satel…

Catastrophic Climate Change is far more likely than we comprehend

We just don’t comprehend how bad shit is actually going to get… The world’s ice sheets just got a dire prognosis, and coastlines are going to pay the price The world’s ice sheets are on course for runaway melting, leading to multiple feet of sea level rise and “catastrophic” migration away from coastlines, even if the world pulls off the miraculous and keeps global warming to within 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to new research. A group of inte…

The rise of the seas will seriously test the resilience of humanity in the second half of the 21st century and beyond, even if nations defy the chances and global warming to the ambitious target of 1.5 degrees Celsius, researchers announced Tuesday. The pace at which the world's oceans are growing has doubled in three decades, [...]

Scientists warn of catastrophic inland migration’ as sea levels rise faster than nations can adapt – DoonWire

Even if climate targets are met, rising oceans threaten to displace millions and overwhelm coastal defences within decades, landmark study finds. A new scientific analysis has delivered a stark warning: even if the world manages to cap global warming at 1.5°C – the key threshold set by the Paris Agreement – rising sea levels will […]
