My top 3 impressions up-front: The sea level projections for the year 2100 have been adjusted upwards again. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100. And here is the key sea-level graphic from the Summary for Policy Makers: Source: IPCC AR6, Figure SPM.8.
Real Climate
AUGUST 12, 2021
There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. CO 2 also has an additional effect: it makes the oceans more acidic when dissolved in seawater. mm increase every year.

Flooding, coastal erosion, wildfires, thawing permafrost, and extreme weather events are causing unprecedented loss and damage of places and customs. Warming oceans and ocean acidification have already impacted coral reefs, crayfish, and seagrass beds that are important culturally and economically for the Torres Straits islanders.

Some of those predicted changes are already happening such as continued sea level rise which is now irreversible over a time span of hundreds to thousands of years. And by the end of this century, extreme sea-level events which previously occurred every 100 years could happen every year. What’s to come.

Rising sea levels and increased intensity of storm surges are playing a considerable role in the degradation of coastal regions in the Pacific Islands. Illustrating the variation in sea levels from 1993 – 2018. Coastal erosion is occurring at an alarming rate within the Pacific Islands.

SIDS face a range of risks, including extreme floods, storms, droughts, unpredictability of precipitation patterns and sea-level rise, ocean acidification and deoxygenation (World Health Organization, 2018; Douglas & Cooper, 2020, Thomas, 2020).

One such agency is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which provides the scientific bedrock of data needed to protect our health, homes, and livelihoods from climate change and other environmental threats. From coastal erosion to pollution, NOS’s science helps states and communities manage these resources sustainably.
