As you know, this newsletter is usually fairly inspiring. But this one is not (overall). And that’s because we really need to talk about sea level rise again.
Sorry, but the stakes are insanely high and everyone needs to know about this stuff!
That
being said, I do end with an action you can take to help if you so
choose! …Or you can just tell your friends about this mind-bending sea
level rise predicament. Talking about these things and finding new ways
to help together is always good.
Key Takeaways:
- We’ve locked in about 7.5 ft (2.3 m) of sea level rise already.
- Sea levels will likely be at least 3.3 ft (1 m) higher by 2100.
- Last time Earth got this hot, sea levels were way, WAY higher.
- Ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica is decades ahead of schedule. There’s been significant acceleration.
The
fact of the matter is that coastal cities around the world will
eventually have to make sci-fi adaptations or retreat…but I’m getting
ahead of myself.
