World's Oceans Are in Catastrophic Danger, UN Climate Study Finds The landmark study found that
without drastically lowering emissions,
rising ocean levels will wreak havoc
to all human life on earth. Michael Meredith, Study Author, via Reuters The UN backed study of more
than 100 authors correlated data
from 7,000 academic papers. If emissions continue to rise,
the report predicts that sea levels
could rise by an entire meter by 2100. By 2300, sea levels could
rise as much as five meters. Nerilie Abram, Study Author, via Reuters Despite lower emissions goals
of the 2015 Paris Climate Accord,
last year's carbon emissions reached
a record high.
