BBC Headlines: Sea rise 'to exceed projections' The research has "severe implications" for low-lying cities, such as London
The global sea level looks set to rise far higher than forecast because of changes in the polar ice-sheets, a team of researchers has suggested. Scientists at a climate change summit in Copenhagen said earlier UN estimates were too low and that sea levels could rise by a metre or more by 2100. The projections did not include the potential impact of polar melting and ice breaking off, they added. For the rest of the report see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7935159.stm
