All underwater by 2035.

1. Sea level rise is accelerating and happening faster than expected.

James Hansen says we could hit 5m within decades.

Nobody knows for sure how quickly it will progress, but it will hit hard sooner rather than later.

2. A key question: will these places be underwater numerous times during a given year, or permanently from 2035?

See this interactive map to get a sense of sea level rise and flooding for each city/island nation by 2030 and 2040: https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map/8/100.5836/13.7301/?theme=sea_level_rise&map_type=coastal_dem_comparison&elevation_model=coastal_dem&forecast_year=2050&pathway=rcp45&percentile=p50&return_level=return_level_1&slr_model=kopp_2014">https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map/8/100...

3. See this thread on island nations under threat. They look set to be uninhabitable by 2029: https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1189589662282780675?s=19">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe...

4. Sea level rise is already a calamity today.

Hurricane">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe... Dorian may have killed thousands or even 10s of thousands. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚠️" title="Warning sign" aria-label="Emoji: Warning sign">
The massive storm surges of such violent hurricanes are linked to sea level rise.

5. Bangkok 40% underwater by 2030 (plus details on Manila, Jakarta, Shanghai, Georgetown).

6. Given the uncertainties and the fact that everything about climate is happening faster than expected, I don& #39;t feel one can claim there& #39;s no way this is possible. Even cautious mainstream corporate media are talking about cities being wiped out by 2050. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/10/29/climate/coastal-cities-underwater.html">https://www.nytimes.com/interacti...

7. We shouldn& #39;t really be making projections beyond the 2020s: https://twitter.com/ClimateBen/status/1180507898809597952?s=19">https://twitter.com/ClimateBe...

8. Right now in 2019, sea level rise is

1. destroying ecosystems
2. creating deadly storm surges
3. wrecking habitats
4. increasing extinction risks
5. eroding coastlines
6. swallowing islands
7. threatening communities
8. destroying crops

11. A billion people face climate change hazards.

& #39;The Philippines was ranked the country with the highest risk of experiencing multiple climate hazards...in the world followed by Japan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, and Pakistan. https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/7xgdgq/nine-countries-most-threatened-by-climate-change-crisis-disaster-hazard-all-asia-report-finds?__twitter_impression=true">https://www.vice.com/en_asia/a...

12a. What can we do?!?

12b. What can we do?!

Climate justice activists are taking action for climate justice. That& #39;s probably the best idea. We must accept that this predicament is all about a destructive political economy, then, organise transformation.
