In one of the report’s most worrisome findings, the agency estimates that in light of recent ice sheet melting, global sea levels could rise as much as 4 feet by 2100. The intergovernment panel had projected a rise of no more than 1.5 feet by that time, but satellite data over the last two years show the world’s major ice sheets are melting much more rapidly than previously thought.
So a minimum level constituting massive death and destruction has been revised upward. Kids being born today will have children whose lives are going to be almost entirely consumed with art of sandbag stacking.
