Has anyone noticed a 100mm rise in sea levels near where they live?''In the past 30 years, global sea levels have risen by about 10 centimetres, according to the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP)." Hundreds of polar researchers have issued an emergency statement calling for urgent action to deal with the impacts of climate change in Antarctica. Antarctica and the Southern Ocean have been undergoing rapid and extreme changes in recent years, including unprecedented heatwaves and record-low sea ice levels. Over the past week, more than 450 researchers gathered in Hobart for the inaugural Australian Antarctic Research Conference — the first such event in more than a decade. Almost two thirds of attendees were early career researchers , who have released a joint statement titled, Making Antarctica Cool Again. The statement warns of the potential dire consequences of global sea level rise caused by melting ice sheets. "Nowhere on Earth is there a greater cause of uncertainty in sea level rise projections than from East Antarctica, in Australia's backyard," the statement says. "The East Antarctic ice sheet alone holds enough water to raise global sea levels by approximately 50 metres if completely melted. "Implications for our coastal cities and infrastructure are immense."In the past 30 years, global sea levels have risen by about 10 centimetres, according to the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP). Scientists say sea levels could rise by up to one metre by the end of the century under a high emissions scenario. They are becoming increasingly concerned about melting ice in Antarctica.

of course sailor girl. its not about the present lack of sea level rise. its the present danger of future melt that is indicated by the physical properties of carbon gases. its not a scam, sham or spam its ridgy didge mate.thanks for posting more of the report. I stuffed the 450 didn't i.
