Unmanageable Sea Level Rise Projected This Century

A new study warns that even if the 1.5C global warming target is met, sea levels will rise unmanageably this century, threatening 230 million people, with England's Fens and Humberside particularly vulnerable unless coastal defenses are strengthened; however, continued use of fossil fuels could lead...

Alexandria's Sinking Crisis: Climate Change and Building Collapses

Alexandria, Egypt, is sinking due to climate change and tectonic activity, causing coastal erosion and building collapses; over 280 buildings collapsed from 2001-2021, and 43 more from 2023-2025, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation.

Unmanageable Sea Level Rise Projected at 1.5C Warming

A new study warns that unmanageable sea level rise, driven by quadrupled ice sheet melt since the 1990s, will occur at just 1.5C global heating, causing catastrophic inland migration even if current warming levels persist; exceeding 2.5C would trigger a 12-meter rise.

Glaciers Won't Recover for Centuries Even With Temporary 1.5°C Exceedance

A new study reveals that mountain glaciers will not recover for centuries if global warming temporarily exceeds 1.5°C, even if temperatures later return to safer levels, with significant implications for sea-level rise and downstream communities.

UK Seaside Town at Risk of Vanishing Due to Coastal Erosion

The UK seaside town of Happisburgh, Norfolk, is facing severe coastal erosion, losing over 250 meters of coastline since the 1990s, with predictions it could vanish by 2050 due to climate change and the composition of the cliffs.

Accelerating Sea Level Rise Poses Catastrophic Threat

Global sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, primarily due to human-caused global warming, resulting in a 4-inch increase since 1993 and projected increases of 6 inches globally and up to 12 inches in the US by 2050, with potentially catastrophic consequences in the future.

Irreversible Ice Sheet Melt Projected, Leading to Catastrophic Sea Level Rise

New research indicates that irreversible melting of the world's ice sheets is imminent, leading to a multi-meter sea level rise and catastrophic coastal displacement, even if global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius; this is based on a study published in Communications Earth and Environment.

1°C Warming Limit Urged to Avert Catastrophic Sea Level Rise

New research warns that limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as stipulated by the Paris Agreement, is insufficient to prevent catastrophic sea-level rise; scientists now urge a 1°C limit to avoid irreversible ice sheet melt and devastating consequences for coastal populations.

1.5C Warming Target Will Not Stop Devastating Sea Level Rise

Scientists warn that even limiting global warming to 1.5C will still cause several meters of sea-level rise over centuries due to continued melting of Greenland and Antarctica, threatening coastal communities and necessitating adaptation strategies. Current trajectories show a far worse outcome.

Irreversible Glacier Loss Projected Even with Reduced Warming

A new study in Nature Climate Change reveals that even a temporary exceedance of the 1.5°C global warming limit will cause irreversible damage to mountain glaciers for centuries, with smaller glaciers potentially not recovering before 2500, impacting downstream water resources and sea levels.

Cascadia Earthquake Risk: Coastal Land Subsidence and Increased Flooding

A new study reveals a 15% chance of a magnitude 8.0+ earthquake on the Cascadia fault in the next 50 years, potentially causing coastal land to sink over six feet, dramatically increasing sea levels and flood risks from northern California to Washington, with lasting impacts on coastal populations, ...
