sea level IPCC rise climate change

  • According to the best case scenario (humans take very aggressive action to reduce greenhouse gases), the experts think sea level rise will likely be about 0.4–0.6 meters (1.3–2.0 feet) by 2100 and 0.6–1.0 meters (2.0–3.3 feet) by 2300. According to the more likely higher emission scenario, the results are 0.7–1.2 meters (2.3–3.9 feet) by 2100 and 2.0–3.0 meters (6.5–9.8 feet) by 2300. These are significantly larger than the predictions set forth in the recently published IPCC AR5 report. They reflect what my colleagues, particularly scientists at NOAA, have been telling me for about three years.

    I learnt a lot about this pat, it's a really serious, topical point. Many mollusca that have calcium carbonate shells are at risk because the increased acid in the oceans are breaking down the (alkali) shells. The knock on effects of this among a food web can be devastating!

    These plants concentrate heavy metals. This one concentrates vanadium to 100x the concentration in the surrounding seawater, which gives it its striking colours. It is not clear why they do this.

    I realise this isn't actually about marine life but thought it may be of interest in the context environmental impact on behaviour and species ability to adapt!
