Sea Level Rising
A German scientist says:
I believe it will rise a meter by 2100. It could rise that much by 2020. The melting is happening faster than the scientists say. They are a cautious lot afraid to stick their necks out. It will happen to fast for anybody to do anything about it. Kiss Manhattan goodbye.
BERLIN (AFP) - Sea levels could rise one metre (3.3 feet) by 2100, a leading German research institute said Thursday, much more than even the most pessimistic projection by the UN climate panel.
"We should prepare for a rise of sea levels of one metre this century," said Joachim Schellnhuber, head of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), which advises the German government on environmental policy.
