Sea Rise Will Be Irreversible Over Next Several Thousand Years Due To Greenhouse Gas Emissions
redOrbit: A groundbreaking study by a team of European researchers warns that greenhouse gas emissions will cause an irreversible rise in sea level over the next several thousand years. The study, published in the latest edition of the journal Environmental Research Letters, expanded the scope of typical climate change studies to include thousands of years in its projections and also took into consideration all of the Earth’s land ice, something which had never been done before. Using thermomechanical… Continue reading
