The purpose of this working group is to discuss what is causing the rise in sea level, how to reduce the rate at which the seas are rising, and how to mitigate the impact that sea level rise is having and will have on our coastal communities.

Greenland ice losses set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot, new research shows | CNN Widespread ice losses from Greenland have locked in nearly a foot of global sea level rise in the near future -- and new research suggests there is no way to stop it, even if the world stopped releasing planet-heating emissions today.

Climate change: Record drought in U.S. West, sea level expected to rise a foot by 2050

Tue, 2022-02-15 17:57 — mike kraft

Western drought fueled by climate change is the worst in 1,200 years, scientists say Researchers estimated that 42% of the drought's severity can be attributed to human-caused climate change. Emma Newburger CNBC

cnn.com - by Sareena Dayaram - May 21, 2019

Global sea levels could rise more than two meters (6.6 feet) by the end of this century if emissions continue unchecked, swamping major cities such as New York and Shanghai and displacing up to 187 million people, a new study warns.

The study, which was released Monday, says sea levels may rise much faster than previously estimated due to the accelerating melting of ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica.

The international researchers predict that in the worst case scenario under which global temperatures increase by 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100, sea levels could rise by more than two meters (6.6 feet) in the same period -- double the upper limit outlined by the UN climate science panel's last major report.

Greenland is Melting Even Faster Than Experts Thought, Study Finds

Climate change is eliminating giant chunks of ice from Greenland at such a speed that the melt has already made a significant contribution to sea level rise, according to a new study. With global warming, the island will lose much more, threatening coastal cities around the world.

Forty percent to 50% of the planet's population is in cities that are vulnerable to sea rise, and the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is bad news for places like New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Mumbai.
