Sea-level rise faster than expected
Scientific team says that the sea level around the world will rise more than expected because of changes in the ice surface in the North and South Poles.
The scientists warned that the consequences of this phenomenon will be the consequences for many people, where about 10 percent of the population of the ground, approximately 600 million people in low-lying areas.
Experts warned in a symposium on climate change in Copenhagen that the expectations of the United Nations in this regard is very low, confirming that it is possible sea-level rise a full meter by 2100.
The UN report had predicted that rising sea levels maximum 59 centimeters.
He Professor Konrad Steffen of the University of Colorado at a press conference Tuesday to press the consideration of accelerated melting of ice in Greenland during the last decade.
He said Steffen, who has studied the phenomena Bgeled on the Arctic for 35 years: "can I expect with confidence that sea level could rise by almost meter 2100th that significant change requires action now."
For his part, said Dr. John Tchertc of the Australian Center for studies of climate, sea-level rise to three mm per year, according to the latest studies, since 1993. It is of course a very high percentage compared with the last century. "
Dr Eric Reneo, a U.S. space agency NASA, says that turning a blind eye on the results of this research would be a grave mistake, especially as the contribution of melting ice in Greenland and the Antarctic regions of very large
