Oceans could rise more than a foot by 2100 – Futurity: Research News
If greenhouse gases continue apace, Greenland and Antarctica’s shrinking ice sheets could add 15 inches to sea level rise by 2100, researchers warn.
If greenhouse gas emissions continue apace, Greenland and Antarctica’s shrinking ice sheets could together contribute more than 15 inches (38 centimeters) of global sea level rise by 2100, a new study warns.
