To prevent rapid sea-level rise, study urges reducing emissions now

1. “They estimate that a failure to reduce emissions by 2050 will result in a greater than 50% probability of reaching the threshold that would raise sea levels by 0.4 meters, which could surpass 0.5 meters depending on how heat is absorbed into the oceans and other complex geophysical dynamics. A sea-level rise of 0.5 meters could increase the entire distribution of flood risk at most tidal gauges by 10-fold, with a 100-fold increase in risk at more than half of those gauges.”

2. We’re already past the point of not feeling the effects of climate change. We’d have to start reversing them now.

3. If only Al Gore hadn’t have been cheated out of the presidency in 2000. Could you imagine where we could have been at this point. Instead, we have an administration that looks like it’s made up of Captain Planet villains.

4. I urge basic science literary.

5. Good luck trying to convince the high-fuctose corn syrup brains to act right

6. No shit.
