[Closed] Rising Seas

Coyote · 2019-01-26T23:44:29Z

These past few weeks have seen a number of media outlets covering new disclosures about ice loss in both poles. The February 2019 issue of Scientific American features an article about the precarious Thwaites Glacier, one of the major outlets for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. According to studies of the glacier's underlying topography, a collapse of Thwaites could raise global sea levels by 11 feet in a span of several decades. Meanwhile in the Arctic, it turns out the rate of ice loss in Greenland has quadrupled since 2003 and may be approaching a "tipping point" (per the the New York Times). The Guardian also reported on the Greenland findings.Jeanne, these discoveries seem to validate your intuition that we could see 20 feet of sea level rise by the end of the century, and that these rises would come in pulses. Has anyone else meditated on this subject? I'm interested in knowing at what point do people in developed nations recognize rising seas as a present danger? I remember a vision posted for the early 2020s that saw lots of condemned coastal properties. Then it seems that by the 2030s whole communities would be fleeing the coast.

NWDoug and Coyote! Thank you for the reaffirmation that synchronicity is not random but quite meaningfully connective!
