Sea level rise baked in
Posted: September 6th, 2022, 10:30 am
...scientists found that Greenland's ice sheet is now in such a state of disequilibrium, and has become so out of tune with the Arctic climate, that it won't be able to sustain its mass. For the physics to add up, the sheet is now destined to correct itself by shedding a further 3.3% of its volume. That's even if the world stopped burning fossil fuels today.
This equates to 110 quadrillion tonnes of ice, enough to drive up average global sea levels by at least 10 in.
"It is a very conservative rock-bottom minimum. Realistically, we will see this figure more than double within this century,
Indeed, it is quite possible that we or at least our children could see 30" of sea level rise.
So, those bijou beach huts in Mudeford may not be such a great investment after all https://newatlas.com/environment/greenland-ice-melt-sea-level-rise/
