Sea-level still rising, now FASTER

KONRAD STEFFEN, UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO said at the Climate Congress last week in Copenhagen "our key finding of this meeting is that we will have up to one metre sea level rise by 2100 based on our new insight of glaciers. And that will affect up to 600 million people that are living close to the coastline. This impact will include major cities like New York. We already know that New Orleans is in the same way, but also areas like Bangladesh or smaller areas of islands that will be flooded within that one metre sea level rise."
