Scientists underestimate global sea level rise
(ORDO NEWS) — Existing climate models underestimate the accelerating melting of Greenland’s glaciers, which is raising global sea levels. The results of the study show that more ice will be lost by the end of the 21st century than scientists thought. The researchers analyzed data collected from the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS) GPS network and combined with surface elevation data from the CryoSat-2 satellite, and performed high-resolution numerical simulations.…

Global sea level will rise higher than previously predicted
(ORDO NEWS) — The mean sea level could rise half a meter (1.6 feet) by 2050, two meters (6.6 feet) by 2100 and five meters (16.4 feet) by 2150 if emissions of gases that cause global warming will continue to increase over the course of a century, according to a new study on the impact of melting polar ice caps. This is much higher than UN experts have predicted so…
