Researchers have recently performed a study, the conclusions of which say that the sea is projected to rise as the earth warms in the coming years.

Researchers from five different nations performed the above study to know the effect of global warming upon the planet over the next 2,000 years. Their findings have stated that the levels of the sea are at high risks of rising by more than 6.6 feet with every degree Celsius rise due to warming of temperature.

The findings of the above research were published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. With these findings, the researchers could not ignore the short-term fluctuations in sea levels but yes, it is true that forecasts are more certain for the noticeable changes over a longer term comparatively.

Experts have explained that the melting of ice in the Antarctic can majorly affect the sea levels. The worst-case scenario could face a temperature gain of 7.2 Fahrenheit with seas rising by about 9 meters since the phase of industrialization which began in the 18th century.

“Continuous sea-level rise is something we cannot avoid unless global temperatures go down,” Mr. Anders Levermann, the lead author of the study, said. He sent an email from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, where he is based penning down the above gained conclusions.
