New study about the rise in global sea levels (an input)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the phenomenon of global sea level rise, specifically emphasizing that melting ice will contribute more significantly to sea level increases at the equator compared to polar regions. Participants debate the validity of claims regarding the extent of this rise, with references to scientific data and the need for credible sources. The discussion highlights the importance of relying on scientific evidence rather than popular science articles to substantiate claims about climate change and its impacts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Earth system science
  • Knowledge of climate change impacts
  • Familiarity with sea level measurement techniques
  • Ability to evaluate scientific literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the scientific methodologies used to measure sea level rise
  • Study the effects of melting polar ice on global sea levels
  • Examine peer-reviewed articles on equatorial sea level changes
  • Learn about the implications of climate change on coastal communities
USEFUL FOR

Climate scientists, environmental researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of sea level rise and its geographical implications.

ESL: Since valuable discussions are being made and then threads closed, here is an input:

Melting ice to liquid water, will gather around equator because of gravity

@lomidrevo
And do you think it's ALL going to "gather around the equator" ?
 
ESL. My point is that sea level rise will rise more around equator than on the Earth's poles. I've studied Earth system science, you have clearly not.

Yes, but that's not what you said. How MUCH more will the rise be at the equator as opposed to higher latitudes?
 
According to google(?!) = ca 21000/total sea level rise -> %
 
Please send me some scientific references which have actual numbers based on which assumptions to support your claim (and I will reopen this thread). As already pointed out, the relative ratio between equatorial coasts compared to coasts at higher altitudes is the important data here.

Articles in popular science magazines are no sufficient base for a scientific dialogue.

Valuable is relative here. Party small talks are not valuable discussions. We need facts in general but especially on subjects which are so politically misused as CC.
