1.5°C Paris Climate Agreement target may be too high for polar ice sheets and sea level rise

The ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica will continue to melt unstoppably even if the world manages to limit global warming to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels. According to the latest international research, this development could lead to a multi-meter rise in sea level and cause mass migration of the population from coastal areas.

Timeline for global climate thresholds laid out

The Climate Crisis is accelerating and all the main players predict that the world will warm by more than the 1.5C Paris Agreement target by next year and the 2C maximum will be broached by 2037 – far earlier than previously forecast.

The Paris agreement target for warming still won’t protect polar ice sheets

This story was originally published by Inside Climate News and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Sea levels in some parts of the world could be rising by as much as 8 to 12 inches per decade within the lifetime of today’s youngest generations, outpacing the ability of many coastal communities to adapt, scientists warned in a new study published this week.  The research by an international team of sea level and polar i…

The recent gain of ice in Antarctica is undoubtedly an exceptional event, a white breath in an increasingly hot planet. But it is not the salvation that many want to announce.

Earth's 'catastrophic' ice melt problem is worse than previously thought, study says

The world's two gigantic ice sheets are in greater peril from global warming than previously thought, a study published May 20 says.

Study warns of accelerated ice sheet melting, rising sea levels

Even 1.5°C increase may not be sufficient to prevent ice sheets melting, says new study, suggesting that global warming must be limited to closer to 1°C above pre-industrial levels - Anadolu Ajansı
