Climate change SHOCK: Sea level rise forecasts were wrong by 80 percent | Science | News | Express.co.uk
CLIMATE change forecasts have drastically underestimated the contribution of Greenland’s melting ice sheet to global sea rise by 80 percent, a shocking new study has found.
Climate change and the effects of global warming will produce between 19 and 63 inches of sea level rise around the globe. Climate scientists at the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks fear these effects will become evident over the next 200 years. And if greenhouse gas emissions remain unopposed and global temperatures continue to rise, Greenland’s ice will melt at higher rates than initially expected. The climate forecasts are now up to 80 percent higher than previous estimates of 35 inches of sea level rise from Greenland ice melt.
