Rising CO2 could cause catastrophic sea level rise finds Antarctic study - Telegraph - 0 views

  • during the last period of high CO2, 125,000 years ago,
    temperatures were up to 10.8F(6C) higher than present day levels.



    Such a hike in temperature could lead to a rise in sea levels of between 13 to
    20ft (4 to 6 m) over hundreds of years as the ice sheets melt.

  • the study suggests that current high levels of CO2 could also
    cause a rise in temperature
  • massive droughts, extinction of species and sea
    level rise

    "preliminary results from a study by Fairbanks based Borealis Energy Services on the performance of Nansulate(R) on steam pipes at surface temperatures of 303 deg F for both surface temperature reduction and reduction of heat loss. Preliminary results showed a 67 deg F temperature difference after applying the Company's patented Nansulate(R) High Heat insulation and corrosion prevention coating on the pipes at the standard application of 3 coats, which equates to a final dry film thickness for the application of approximately 6/1000th of an inch. Borealis Energy, who has been researching the product since July, will be forwarding a final report on their results within 30 days."
