In a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, an international team of researchers found that melting ice in Greenland alone would cause sea levels to rise by at least 0.26 meters.
This may seem like a small increase, but in reality it will be quite a problem. Also, this is a positive forecast because in the worst case the sea level will rise to 0.77 meters. This is a very realistic forecast in case the heat breaks records every subsequent year.
This development does not mean a disaster that will directly affect billions of people living in coastal areas. This is another warning sign that global warming is leaving a devastating and possibly irreversible mark on our planet.
The team analyzed satellite data on ice loss from the Greenland ice sheet between 2000 and 2019 and estimated the effect of sea level on the total volume of the Greenland ice sheet.
A growth of 0.26 meters is “a very conservative minimum”. Realistically, we will see that number double over the course of this century. This is stated by the study’s lead author, Jason Box, from the National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.
However, a major shortcoming of the study is its inability to provide a time scale on which sea level rise will occur. However, given modern trends, this is not very long – about 100 – 150 years.
If 2012’s record heat becomes the norm, a projected 0.77m sea level rise of 0.77 meters is surprising and shocking that we are already “swimming” in this ice loss range.
said GEUS researcher William Colgan.
At the same time, Colgan stressed that there are many opportunities to minimize damage, but that the world must act in a coordinated manner. However, almost all scientists agree that humanity is already facing the serious consequences of the ongoing climate change.
By the way, we talked recently about how terrible drought has dried up rivers and lakes as a result of people gaining access to previously seen or long forgotten objects. Here we talked about 13 of the strangest finds discovered at the bottom of reservoirs.
