"If a new scientific paper is proven accurate, the international target of limiting global temperatures to a 2°C rise this century will not be nearly enough to prevent catastrophic melting of ice sheets that would raise sea levels much higher and much faster than previously thought possible. "Parts of [our coastal cities] would still be sticking above the water, but you couldn't live there." —Dr. James Hansen According to the new study—which has not yet been peer-reviewed, but was written by former NASA scientist James Hansen and 16 other prominent climate researchers—current predictions about the catastrophic impacts of global warming, the melting of vast ice sheets, and sea level rise do not take into account the feedback loop implications of what will occur if large sections of Greenland and the Antarctic are consumed by the world's oceans." GR Is it time yet to fully investigate all climate intervention options, or shall we continue to cling to the hope that GHG emissions reduction alone is going to save the day? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
