Climate Central: Even if world manages to limit global warming to 2°C -- the target number for current climate negotiations -- sea levels may still rise at least 6 meters (20 feet) above their current heights, radically reshaping the world's coastline and affecting millions in the process. That finding comes from a new paper published on Thursday in Science that shows how high sea levels rose the last time carbon dioxide levels were this high. That was about 3 million years ago, when the globe was about 3-5°F...
Global sea levels have risen six meters or more with just slight global warming

ScienceDaily: A new review analyzing three decades of research on the historic effects of melting polar ice sheets found that global sea levels have risen at least six meters, or about 20 feet, above present levels on multiple occasions over the past three million years. What is most concerning, scientists say, is that amount of melting was caused by an increase of only 1-2 degrees (Celsius) in global mean temperatures. Results of the study are being published this week in the journal Science. "Studies...
Coastal Nations, Megacities Face 20 Feet of Sea Rise
2015-07-09 23:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: If, as suggested by a comprehensive new review in the journal Science, 2°C of global warming will lock in at least 20 feet (6 meters) of eventual sea level rise, what would 2°C of warming (3.6°F) mean for the future and heritage of global nations and cities? It would mean a world we don't recognize, one losing more than 444,000 square miles of land, where more than 375 million people live today. China, the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, is home to by far the largest share of those...
