Sea levels could rise by up to one-and-a-half metres by the end of this century, according to new scientific research.
The new analysis comes from a UK/Finnish team which has built a computer model linking temperatures to sea levels for the last two millennia.
“For the past 2,000 years, the [global average] sea level was very stable, […]

One of the world’s leading climate scientists has warned that the EU and its international partners must urgently rethink targets for cutting CO2 because they have grossly underestimated the scale of the problem.
In a startling reappraisal of the threat, James Hansen, head of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, calls for […]

Climate change is having a major impact on Britain’s coast, the seas around the coast, and the life in those seas, a government-sponsored report has concluded.
The Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) says seas are becoming more violent, causing coastal erosion and a higher risk of flooding. Higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere are making […]

The melting of mountain glaciers and ice caps as a result of global warming over the next century is likely to cause bigger than expected increases in sea levels, according to scientists.
An assessment of the volume of water running into the oceans from melting ice caps suggests that sea levels could rise by two to […]

The Independent leads with yet another climate change related front page about how climate change is ravaging Tuvalu in the South Pacific.
“For Tuvalu, reports the paper “a string of nine picturesque atolls and coral islands, global warming is not an abstract danger; it is a daily reality. The tiny South Pacific nation, only four metres […]
