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: & #39;severe consequences& #39;

& #39;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.& #39;

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."

& #39;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& #39;

Sea level rise is already causing severe damage.

1.2m- 2.2m would be profoundly destructive.
