Today’s latest scary prognostication
Rising seas will displace 150 million people by 2100, says climate report
Lands inhabited by more than 150 million people could be submerged in water by the end of this century. That’s according to the latest projections from a group of US researchers.
A new study published in the journal Earth’s Future used the latest information from the Antarctic ice sheet and combined it with existing models on the expected rise in sea levels.
The academics behind the report found that if levels of greenhouse gas emission remain high, the median global average sea-level rise could be 4ft 9ins (1.5 meters) by 2100. Astonishingly, this is double the estimate of 2ft 5ins (736cm) projected by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2014.
Astonishingly, this is over seven times the actual recorded sea rise that was measured using actual measuring instruments, vs computer models.
One has to wonder, if we’re all so doomed, why do all the elites have homes at the sea shore, and keep acquiring more.
