Those on the coasts should plan for 6.5 feet of sea level rise by 2100, a new study says—a level that could inundate nearly 700,000 square miles and displace up to 187 million people.https://insideclimatenews.org/news/21052019/antarctica-greenland-ice-sheet-melting-sea-level-rise-risk-climate-change-polar-scientists?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social …
Let's just remember that the 187 million the study talks about comes from this study: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsta.2010.0291 …, which clearly says it won't happen. Even this worst-case analysis will mostly be avoided by costs of 0.02% of GDPpic.twitter.com/KTsAPHJNCb

@BjornLomborg Let's just remember that the study you refer to is from 2011. The impact of rising sealevels hasn't changed since 2011, but the likeliness has .. shame on you Bjorn, you know better that this. -
In 2019 researchers write: "We find that a global total SLR exceeding 2 m by 2100 lies within the 90% uncertainty bounds for a high emission scenario. This is more than twice the upper value put forward by the IPCC in the Fifth Assessment Report."
