AUN science panel has warned in a report issued on Wednesday that Climate changeis set to cause frequent flooding, rising sea levels, major loss of glaciersand thawing of permafrost
The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change Chairman, Hoesung Lee, said this as he launched the report on the state of the world’s oceans and frozen regions.
Theconsequences will be worse the quicker temperatures rise, so governments needto take “urgent and ambitious” action to curb emissions, IPCC report said.
Extremelyhigh sea levels that currently occur once every 100 years are likely to hitmany low-lying megacities and small islands annually by 2050, even in a reducedemissions scenario, the IPCC said.
Onaverage, the world is likely to face a sea level rise of 43 centimetres by theyear 2100 in the lowest of four global warming scenarios considered in thereport, compared with 84 centimetres in the highest scenario.
TheUN panel’s report, drawn up by 104 experts from 36 different countries, isbased on a review of almost 7,000 scientific publications.
