Rising sea levels could swamp major cities and displace almost 200 million people, scientists say

Using a standardized interview technique called structured expert judgment, they asked 22 climate experts to predict the ice sheets’ effect on sea level rise under two possible scenarios. In one, temperatures rose by 2 degrees Celsius , the target detailed in the, the U.N.’s plan to combat climate change, from 1800 to 2100. In the other, temperatures rose by 5 degrees C , which the scientists described as “consistent with unchecked emissions growth” over the same period of time.

The researchers acknowledged that structured expert judgment alone isn’t enough to pinpoint sea level rise and that there’s only about a 5 percent chance that the two-meter scenario will come to pass. But, they argued, efforts to protect against rising seas, like sea walls, should take the worst-case scenario into account.

MACH Damn it, can people make up their minds, I thought AOC said we have 12 years now it's by the end of the century.

MACH BS alarmist propaganda. Climate 'science' !

MACH ...or rising temperatures could increase ocean evaporation, driving moisture into historically arid climates where it would be absorbed by the earth, producing vegetation which will eat CO2 and produce an abundance of oxygen. Lots of things *could* happen.

MACH Fake news. Nothing but propaganda. Nowhere is this even remotely accurate. Media has been lying about this since the printing press was invented. In the ‘30s we’re going to burn. In the ‘70s we were going to freeze. Nothing more than a power grab. LiberalismisaMentalDisorder

MACH Heard this for years, Shame on you for your media hoax

MACH Ummmm, the USofA is by far the least contributor of climate change. China, Russia, and India are far bigger offenders and do the least to control their emissions of so called greenhouse gasses.

MACH If this was a fact then please have them explain why 'Globalist' companies keep building resorts on the coast line?

MACH Same bullshit they’ve been spewing for decades. Fear mongering.

MACH Heard it all before....scare tactic for globalist to make money!

MACH A new 'Cap & Trade Globalist funded Study' There, I fixed it for you. Fakenews

MACH But NBC the global total quantity of ice is stable. The south pole’s glaciation has exploded. Also icebergs and floating ice melting doesn’t raise ocean levels. Try an experiment melting ice in a glass of water. The water level doesn’t increase. FriendsOScience

MACH Still got my science papers from the early 70 science classes said pollution is causing a new ice age. Dammit dirty that air back again. Exactly how are we going to get India China and Russia to clean up their act by spending all our money?

MACH Here we go again

MACH Landscape polluted by solar panels

MACH Yesterday here in FL the hottest day on record was 97° May 25 1918.

MACH News flash the Greenland ice sheet is doing just fine and the Antarctic ice sheet is gaining mass. FYI the last inter glacial (Eemian) was warmer then this one and the Greenland ice sheet made it thru that one too. Cold kills, cold it that everyone should be worried about.

MACH OMG! We're all gonna DIE!! We're Americans, so we can fix this by sending our money to Al Gore, regardless of whether China, India, or any of the other nations do anything. Save the ice packs & polar bears! Send checks now!

MACH The warmth is caused from Hillary’s thighs rubbing against each other. Friction is a climate killer

MACH backed MichaelAvenatti , too. Now throttle China & India...until they catch up with USA's decreases, it's a scam:

pgmckim MACH We need a plan. Our leaders need to quit being in denial.

MACH And, Manhattan was supposed to be under water by now according to predictions a few decades ago.

MACH In 1989, UN climate “scientists” warned strongly that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth if the world didn’t act in 12 years by 2000. 30 years later, those nations are fine but these globalist criminals are trying their 12 year scam with a new generation!

MACH NBC: global warming (danger) People: what happened Staff: we made tons o'money on that scare, thanks Gore NBC: climate change (danger) Staff: look everybody, we changed the name, it's a new scare World: normal weather patterns People: but the media snake said World: normal

MACH But the US will still be the largest oil producer , so that should make us sll feel better.

MACH Great news. Warmer planet brings out more bikinis. I'm gonna burn a tire in celebration.

MACH Not seeing any for sale signs on beach front property and developers still building and banks still lending. Around the world. One would think banks should be in the know. No caveats on loan terms or collateral

MACH The problem is that there is no one taking the lead and offering affordable solutions to this issue.

MACH The way I see it, probably sooner.

MACH Trump believes this is so far out that he doesn’t have to address it! Wrong!

MACH Horseshit.

MACH And the Earth pop continues to grow ?

MACH Enjoy your new home on Mount Kilimanjaro.

MACH Hopefully Manhattan floods first.

MACH All lies

Debi129 MACH Jakarta is already moving up hill as it is sinking fast... climate change is real!

MACH If you don’t evolve you die. That is what history tell us. Move!!!!

MACH Was this study conducted by lock-step wannabes attempting to qualify for accreditation?

MACH I hope all of you saying this is 'fake news' are right. So do your grandchildren.

MACH

MACH Plausibly. Lol.
