Sea level rise by 2100 'below 2m'

[seven]

Sea levels globally are very unlikely to rise by more than 2m (7ft) this century, scientists conclude.

Major increases would have to be fuelled by a faster flow of glaciers on the Greenland or Antarctic ice sheets.

Recently I read somewhere that in last 10,000 years or so... max sea level rise has been 1.3 mtr per century. But they say that the reasons for the rise then and current issue are different.

But then scientists also said that arctic would be ice free by 2100 then they adjusted it to 2050 then to 2030 and finally they say 2015. The don't know anything about nature. They just play around with their faulty climate models.

Pramshank; Thank you for your contribution to the forum.

You seem confused about the fundamentals of this subject, I think you will find that it is the sea ice that is melting in the time frame your bringing up, that won't affect the sea levels because it is frozen sea water however long or short it takes.

The ice that raises sea levels is in the form of glaciers on land. This is predicted to take centurys to melt. If you spent a minute looking into things before you accused people of not knowing what they are doing you would find that you could prevent yourself looking a total and utter buffoon.

That's the most silly remark I heard till date

I think you are more confused than me. Every year, the ice in artic is either increasing or decreasing. Its never steady. Now the rate of its melting has increased immensely which would lead to rise in sea levels.

Sure it would take centuries. Did I talk about Ice free Alps or Himalayas or Tibet or something!


Some more contribution (or may food for thought)...




How come the sea level rise is different in different areas?

Pramshank; you do understand the difference between sea ice that you seem to be referring to in your first post;
Which is floating on the sea already so if it melts, like it is doing, more and more each year, it won't affect sea levels

And Ice in the form of Glaciers like this;

Which will be, and is affecting sea levels as it melts, slowly.
