Sea level will rise by 20m if the Earth's ice melts

The sea level will rise by 10 to 20 meters when all the ice on the planet melts and the process is inevitable, even if people succeed in controlling the planet's temperature without crossing the two-degree boundary. C.

That is the conclusion of the international expert group on climate change (IPCC), published in the Journal of Geology.

The lead researcher, a member of the US National Science Foundation (NSF), is Richard Lane on NSF's website: "Although the planet is in a natural state of atmospheric carbon dioxide, the temperature is Thai. The average will also be 20m higher than today. '

The soil completely melts and this is inevitable.

US and New Zealand scientists compare the process of climate change with what happened on the planet during the late Pliocene (the last of the third period of Earth History, 2.7 to 3 hours ago). , 2 million years), when the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and Earth temperatures are similar today.

From the research results, scientists have concluded that in the era of rising sea levels is inevitable. This phenomenon occurs because the water reserves will be released by melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica. The authors also added that the process will last hundreds, even thousands, of years.

Mr. Richarrd Lane also said: "When the ice in Greenland and Antarctica dissolves into an overflowing ocean, the world will have a different face. Over 70% of the population on Earth is forced to move to another place. or will be submerged in seawater. '

The international expert group on climate change was established in 1988 under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Organization (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to assess the global climate change risks. human cause. According to the IPCC assessment, when the average temperature rise of 2 degrees C will cause a change in natural systems through a new threshold.
