(CNN) Widespread ice losses from Greenland have locked in nearly a foot of global sea level rise that's set to come in the near future -- and new research suggests there is no way to stop it, even if the world stopped releasing planet-heating emissions today.
The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the overall ice loss from Greenland's ice sheet will trigger at least 10 inches of sea level rise, no matter the climate warming scenarios. That's generally the same amount that global seas have already risen over the last century from Greenland, Antarctica and thermal expansion (when ocean water expands as it warms) combined.
The sea level rise from this melted ice will occur "regardless of any foreseeable future climate pathway this century," according to lead author Jason Box, a scientist with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. "This water is technically already under the bridge."
While the authors did not specify a timeline, they predict that the change in sea levels can occur between now and the end of the century.

The findings come on the heels of a 2022 sea-level rise report released earlier this year by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which found that US coasts could expect 10 to 12 inches of sea level rise in the next 30 years. This will cause high tide floods to occur more than 10 times as frequently, and allow storm surges to spread further inland, according to the report.
Greenland holds enough ice that if it all melted, it could lift sea levels by roughly 25 feet around the world. Researchers point out that a sea level rise of 20 feet doesn't mean it will rise evenly around the globe, leaving some places devastated as the sea level falls in others.
You'll be fine. People squatting in the deep forest, shading their eyes from the sun when they finally reach a paved road will be unaffected.Mmoney607 wrote:Death rate will be even lower than covid
The reason that the predictions not coming true as quickly is because there are people actively battling climate change.Do you have kids?Grandkids? Nieces and nephews?

If you talking about Trinidad, that money as good as gone.Other countries may use it for its intended purpose.matr1x wrote:timelapse wrote:If it cuts emissions, greatmatr1x wrote:timelapse wrote:You are correct.Green thinking is the way forwardmatr1x wrote:Point is, it's higher now.....but the effects delayed because things...improving?

I need a better explanation of not only how that will happen, but what that money will be spent on

yep. Still waiting on the dire predictions that were sposed to occur in 2000 and 2020.
The beat goes on...

Some ignorance but mostly plain old common sense. And a healthy dose of skepticism.
