Sea level rise and subsidence will severely damage or destroy major cities from 2035 onwards.
What kind of extreme, exponential sea level rise should we be ready for?
+0.5m by the 2040s
+1.75m by the 2050s
+3.75m by the 2060s
+7m by the 2070s
Likely 2090s range: 1.25m- 5m?

IPCC: 'severe consequences'
'IPCC.. reports tend to show less sea level rise and smaller harm than other scientific studies
people should be prepared for a rise in sea levels to be twice these IPCC projections.'
That means 1.2m - 2.2m by the 2090s.

Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets:
"The melting is overtaking the climate models we use to guide us, and we are in danger of being unprepared for the risks posed by sea level rise."

'collapse of the vulnerable Thwaites glacier in W. Antarctica would release other major bodies of ice which could raise sea levels by 2-3 metres. The ramifications for many countries, including most of the world’s coastal cities, would be catastrophic'

Sea level rise is already causing severe damage.
1.2m- 2.2m would be profoundly destructive.
