Where will the sea level be highest due to global warming?

By the end of 2100, sea levels could rise most sharply on the east coast of the United States, southern Africa, eastern Australia and the northeast of the Russian Federation, Alexey Yekaykin, a leading research expert at the Institute Arctic and Antarctica said.

Sea level in the worst case can rise to 1 meter.

Scientists believe that by 2100, the worst-case sea level could rise by 1 meter. Such drastic changes are caused by artificial emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and thus, global temperatures rise rapidly.

"To a greater degree than average, water will rise on the east coast of the United States , in southern Africa, eastern Australia and northeastern Russia . Below average, water will rise in the regions. ice is actively melting and / or a dramatic increase in the earth's crust - around Greenland, Scandinavia, in northwestern Russia It is also necessary to take into account not only the average sea level, but also the rising water level at very high levels, and the frequency will increase almost everywhere " - Mr. Yekaykin said.

As for cities, the sea level in megacities such as New York, Rotterdam and Shanghai, depending on the scenario, will increase from 0.39 meters to 1.02 meters.
