Climate change: Limiting global warming to 2.7°F would prevent the worst effects of sea level rise
This century’s sea level rise from climate change could be halved if nations meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 2.7°F (1.5°C), scientists have said. Meeting this target — instead of reaching 5.4°F [3°C] of warming — might lower average global sea level rise from 9.8 inches (25 cm) down to 5.1 inches (13 cm). London-led researchers modelled the effect of melting glaciers and ice sheets on sea level rise by 2100 under various possible warming scenarios.
