‘Drastic’ Antarctic melt could double global sea-level rise

By 2500, according to the study, the same source could cause levels across the world to rise by 13m.  The authors say that rapid cuts in carbon emissions could limit this risk. In 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that, without any restrictions on carbon emissions, the seas around the world likely rise by up to 98cm by 2100. they could be up to 1.31m higher. The exact level of Antarctica’s impact on these projections has been vigorously debated. Late last year, a research paper…READ MORE
