Sea levels rose as much as three metres a century during the last interglacial period as Antarctic ice sheets melted - but climate change could be faster | p_hannam

Rise in sea levels if Greenland and Antarctic ice melted

At its fastest – about 125,000 years ago when temperatures were about a degree warmer than now – sea levels rose as much as 3.4 metres per 100 years for several centuries."We don't predict the future, but we show what nature can do even without human interference in the climate," Eelco Rohling, the paper's lead author and a professor at ANU's College of Science, said. "Nature knows how to go much quicker than we thought.

The research will reignite debate over whether the general consensus that sea levels will rise only about one metre by 2100 - as argued in the"They calculate very much the sea-level rise without ice sheet contribution," Professor Rohling said.

p_hannam 👁️ 🤔🤔 🙂🙂🙂 ... ' during the last major melt of about 130,000 years ago ' ... erau Orase pe carbuni si gaze ? .

p_hannam My friends dad has lived on the river off the sea for 40 years. He said that the sea line hasn’t risen or fallen since he’s been there. This was the first story that I heard that made me realise that climate change is a haux and just a socialsm push!

p_hannam I’m glad we are changing the climate. Now, let’s start changing the narrative

p_hannam

p_hannam The climate changes - thats what it does. The earth is doing what the earth has done for eons & continue long after humans are gone. We didn't cause the ice ages & we wont cause the next one. We might pollute ourselves to death or kill each other off but we wont change the earth.
