NASA Scientists Suggest We’ve Been Underestimating Sea Level Rise

I suspect that we can expect a lot of bad news to emerge over the next few decades, as the promise of climate change becomes the reality of climate change.

For the folks outside the USA, that is 14-17cm

Slight tangent, but how does one with SWE/product skills get involved in climate work? There seems to be some research every other day indicating how disastrous global warming is going to be, but a dearth of jobs outside of solar installation or academia.

What am I missing here? 0.6"/decade since 1900 would be 6.6" by 2015, and the article says sea level rose as much as 6.7" in the last century.

<i>In terms of sea level changes, however, the study found the effects of melting are more drastically felt in regions farther from its source.</i><p>Would be nice if they had a theory why.

Have you noticed how you hear about 100 reports about how things may be worse than we though, for each report about the opposite?<p>This says nothing about science, and a lot about what stories get people&#x27;s attention.

I wonder how much waste can be averted if remote was the default option everywhere where it is a viable way of working. Perhaps this is one of the easier ways to contribute to averting the catastrophe.

I suggest people watch the documentary too. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;90CkXVF-Q8M" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;90CkXVF-Q8M</a> . I care about my son and their future. so, i change

&quot;In terms of sea level changes, however, the study found the effects of melting are more drastically felt in regions farther from its source. According to InsideClimate News, melting sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere might raise water levels more in “the southern Pacific Ocean and equatorial regions.”<p>With all due respect, but melting sea ice doesn&#x27;t raise sea level. It&#x27;s a scientific fact the author should check carefully before publishing.

There is nothing we can do, as long China and India get a pass, 3.2 billion people in 2 country doing nothing. Even if the US disappeared off the face of the map, its still to late. I say let it happen, it will propel us into a new era off innovation and environmental awareness. No one is going to take it seriously until its to late anyway .

I like this quotation:<p>&gt;&gt; We&#x27;re all human. Oh, we all do our duty when there&#x27;s no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet sooner or later in every man&#x27;s life there comes a day when it&#x27;s not easy. A day when he must choose.<p>People like to talk about human driven climate change but do not want to pay the price of stopping it. I have seen a demonstration against climate change in Germany. There weren&#x27;t any banner with the text &quot;I have thrown out my plasma screen and sold my car! Please do the same!&quot; This lot of talking but no doing annoys me like hell.

As the sea level rises, its surface grows by the square. So, more and more water is needed for it to rise more. So, all linear predictions are flawed anyway. What do you think, the sea is suddenly going to rise by meters? Get a grip on reality. I really dislike these alarmist articles.<p>EDIT: Okay, I checked the math and the square really doesn&#x27;t weigh much at this ratio of sphere radius vs. sea level rise. I guess I should rely less on asymptotes in the real world ;)<p>Still, I remain largely unconcerned about sea level rises since even if it were to continue linearly, it&#x27;s completely unproblematic except for some coastal&#x2F;below sea regions.

Duh. The important thing at this instant is to develop a self-sufficient extra-terrestrial colony or a means by which some people can survive far above the surface of the Earth for 30-80 years. Life on Earth itself has less time than most people are even ready to know. Something on the order of 1-10 years left. There are massive changes coming which will destroy all human civilization on Earth. Global warming is just the first step. It&#x27;s like a fever in a human. 1-3°C is no big deal. 3-5°C is extremely serious. We&#x27;re talking massive tectonic activity, volcanoes, and huge tsunami(s) caused by a huge wave of energy originating from Earth&#x27;s core. This situation is caused by a problem in the circulation of the gravity field. I&#x27;ve met many scientists but aside from even finding people who understand this topic, I have barely even found anyone who genuinely wants to know either. And this is the very reason this phenomenon of collapse is determined to appear in this age of mankind.
