Sea level doesn’t rise at the same rate everywhere – we mapped where Antarctica’s ice melt would have the biggest impact

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...

Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C

Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial baseline won’t be enough to stop sea levels from rising by several metres over the coming centuries, according to a review of all the latest ...
