The international team that consists of 22 scientists on May 20 published the climate change issue in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS). They warned that the global temperature rises about 5 degree Celsius, and by 2100, the sea level will be rise more than 2 meters, forcing 187 million worldwide people to lose their homes.
The comprehensive French media, “Le Parisien” and “France 24” reported, as the extreme weather accelerates the melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, the sea level will be rise faster than previously estimated, it will threatening 1,79 million square kilometers of land, caused 187 million people worldwide to lose their homes.
According to the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2014, if the earth continues to heat up and the carbon emissions still have no signs of slowing down, and compared with the period from 1986 to 2005, by the end of 21st century, the sea level will rise by 1 meter. In accordance with the Paris Agreement, the global goal is to keep the average temperature not to increase more than 2 degrees Celsius. The sea level should rise from 36 cm, however since the agreement in 2015, the earth temperature has risen quietly about 1 degree Celsius.
In the newest PNAS research report, the international research team is more pessimistic, speculated that compare it with the temperature before the industrial revolution, it will be rises up to 5 degrees Celsius in 2100, therefore the sea level will be rise by 62 cm to 238 cm. Jonathan Bamber, a professor of physical geography at the University of Bristol as well as the researcher warned that such large-scale seawater rise will have a profound impact on humans.
