Ice sheet uncertainties could mean sea level will rise more than predicted | Imperial News
18 December 2020 Sea level could rise higher than current estimates by 2100 if climate change is unchallenged, according to a new assessment. Its authors say understanding the way strong global heating affects polar ice sheets will be crucial to projecting sea level rise over the next century. However, uncertainties remain and current knowledge about ice sheets suggests sea-level rise under continued strong warming could be higher than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ‘likely’ range by 2100. If we don’t do more to avert dangerous global heating, we may reach a p...
