Sea level rise: the story so far. Feat. @ClimateAdam

Sea level rise is one of the most important - and potentially devastating - impacts of climate change.

I'm so pleased to have the fantastic @ClimateAdam with me to explain how sea level has changed over the recent (and less recent) past.

Fascinating Mates ... I'll stay tuned TU kindly

Good to see another climate science communicator on YouTube. Keep up the good work. Sub.

Sadly, sea level rise is already baked in. That being said, keep the videos coming. I don't know the time line but this will occur: Permafrost/methane hydrate will cause temps to rise too high causing wildfires etc. and phytoplankton will stop making oxygen as the Oceans warm. These two effects in either order will cause oxygen in the atmosphere to drop to 11% starting at high altitudes. Small fauna and some flora will survive at 11% oxygen. New normal 5-10 million years.

How much does the past data of CO2 concentration tell us were likely committed to SLR.. ~15ft? ~60ft ~100ft? Saw somewhere that on ave it's 1ft of SLR per 1ppm CO2.

Wait? Ice melts and turns to water?!! Start with that next time

I'll be under water as long as this video gets a million views. Goodbye from Bangladesh.

Will the sea level rise within 20, 30 years how can be process become faster within 2030 to 2050.

[stekra]

Is ther any way we coud slow down glaicers?

[enviromad]

well it is winning at balancing the humans destruction and it will win in the end

Um, I'm not sure you properly understand the tree-falls problem... Wikipedia gives it a pretty good treatment, have a quick look!
