Scientists Have Reduced the Forecast of Sea Level Rise Seven Times Due to Melting of the Antarctic
Scientists Have Reduced the Forecast of Sea Level Rise Seven Times Due to Melting of the Antarctic | Maritime Herald
By Svilen Petrov ~~ The destruction of the Antarctic ice sheet may not lead to such a catastrophic rise in the level of the oceans, as previously thought. In a new study, the authors calculated that instead of growing by a meter or more by 2100, a growth of 14-15 cm is likely, writes N + 1.
At the same time, the melting of the ice of Greenland and Antarctica is not fully taken into account in modern climate models, as it will lead to even more destabilization of the regional climate. Both studies on this are published in the journal Nature. The melting of the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica is considered one of the most dangerous global consequences of climate change caused by human activity, which will lead to an increase in the level of the World Ocean. There are very significant reserves of ice, and the rate of its melting has increased in recent years. However, the range of estimates of the speed of this process in the future and the final rise in the level of the oceans is quite large. So, in 2016, in one of the works, it was assumed that by 2100 due to the sharp destruction of the Antarctic ice sheet, the level of the World Ocean could rise by a meter or more.
In the second article, Edwards and Nick Golledge of Queen Victoria University in Wellington and their co-authors write that current climate models do not fully take into account the consequences of the destruction of the ice of Greenland and the Antarctic, which will slow down the Atlantic Ocean and further melt the Antarctic ice due to “locking” of warm water in the Southern Ocean (climatologists call such self-enhancing processes positive feedback processes).

It appears that some climate scientists are actually doing science. Now to get some of this downstream to the communists pushing for the complete reorganization of economic systems, or at least those that support them.
Just to be sure, we should follow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and cease all air and motor travel. Perhaps we should go farther and stop all defensive air and motor travel. We will be the only country that does this, but America must lead by example. We will find a way. Think of the children. We can accomplish this is 12 years by increasing punitive taxation and shaming via media outlets.
This is one of the most confounding of modern mysteries - scientists everywhere are vying for large grants to study this anomaly but that presents a problem since the new green deal will soak up much of the available tax revenues and bond sales. Ink will be in short supply so the option of just printing more money is limited. Using metal coins for money are also out of question since mining is forbidden to due to carbon sequestration protocols and the like.
As soon as those new green deal fiscal problems are solved, the scientists promise to get on it right quick.

According to Al Bore our coast lines were supposedly to be flooded years ago. Not so New York and London are still above the waterline.
A 14 to 15 centimeter rise by 2100? That’s 5 or 6 inches. Of course the five boroughs of New York City will have to be evacuated because of the rising sea level but most of the country will survive OK.
