UK Press: environmentalists warn of the danger level of the world ocean "skyrockets" .

Level of the world's oceans may rise three times faster than predicted by scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the newspaper Independent. The Intergovernmental Panel considered that a century sea level rise a maximum of 59 cm, however, according to the calculations of other scientists, by 2100, this level could rise by 1.9 meters. Scientists studying the consequences of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Change and the Technological Institute in Helsinki say that sea level rises faster due to warming, especially at the poles of the Earth and the thermal expansion of the ocean. In their view, earlier studies with errors in the calculations and does not fully take into account the impact on the level of the ocean has a melting of polar ice. According to their estimates, the rise of water level could reach from 75 to 1890 cm "The data clearly show - the warmer the climate becomes, the more rapidly rising sea level", - said Dr. Stephen Ramstorf of the Potsdam Institute for studying the effects of climate change. The rise of the water at 1,9 m, writes Independent, will result in that large parts of eastern England will be flooded with the face of the earth to disappear, many small island states, and much of Bangladesh will become uninhabitable. Increase the likelihood of hurricanes, which will lead to flooding in some of the major coastal cities such as London or New York, the newspaper said, referring to environmental scientists.
