New study about the rise in global sea levels

AI Thread Summary
A recent study indicates that global sea levels could rise by over 2 meters by 2100 under high-temperature scenarios, potentially displacing up to 187 million people and resulting in significant land loss, particularly in food production areas. The discussion highlights a concerning passivity among the public and politicians regarding climate change, despite numerous warnings from scientists. Participants express frustration over the lack of action and understanding of the implications of sea-level rise and climate change, emphasizing the need for proactive planning and adaptation. The conversation also touches on the historical context of climate change and human responsibility in addressing its impacts. Overall, the urgency of addressing these issues is underscored, as the rapid rate of change poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human societies.

Discuss? Not here. It degrades into a flame war. In the prevention of that problem - thread closed. This my job here. PF discussions are based on respectable journal papers and textbooks. Thanks.
