Sea levels are going to raise throughout the next few decades due to humans potentially 'losing control' of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melting, a study says.
Sea levels are going to continue to rise over the next few decades due to humans potentially "losing control" of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet melting, a "sobering" new study has found.
Dr Kaitlin Naughten of the British Antarctic Survey and lead author of the study said other research beyond her own points to it contributing to around one metre of sea level rise by 2100. “Our actions today likely will make a difference further down the line in the 22nd century and beyond, but that’s a timescale that probably none of us here will be around to see.”
For the current study, Dr Naughten’s BAS team simulated four scenarios for the current century against a historic baseline of the previous one, imagining that emissions are either controlled to rein in the global temperature rise to 1.5C or 2C above pre-industrial levels or that emissions continue at a medium or high level.
Other scientists cautioned against viewing the results of the study as being absolutely conclusive as they are based on a single model, but that it is in line with other similar studies.
