WASHINGTON: Sea levels may rise by up to 10 feet as early as now, says James E. Hansen, the veteran climatologist-turned-campaigner and former director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
For Hansen and his colleagues, the climate events that transpired during the late Eemian period may provide valuable insight into the effects of human-driven global warming, especially since the high temperatures then were somewhat comparable to present temperature changes.
The researchers performed simulations of the late Eemian era and tried to identify information that could help experts understand the global climate change occurring in this generation.
Today’s climate change is more intense and swift compared to the previous period, the researchers believe. Nonetheless, comparing details from two different periods may spark new concepts.
