The impact of global warming which will unavoidably undermine the West Antarctic ice sheet
Global sea levels would rise at least 13 feet, 3.96 meters or equivalent, at 1000 years. The conclusion is obtained after a number of experts researching a number of things. From the trend of sea level rise up to the ice in Antarctica.
Experts says that the sea level rise is caused by emissions of carbon dioxide constantly pumped into the atmosphere. Emission that causes the collapse of the ice in West Antarctica, which is expected to occur around
the year 3000. If that happens, then the volume of sea water rises and might be a disaster.In fact, the "Antarctic ice layer is likely to collapse more quickly. And the effects of inertia (humidity) climate change will actually be much worse," said Professor Shawn Marshall, leader of the study from the University of Calgary in Canada, quoted by the Daily Mail, Tuesday, January 11, 2011.
This latest study, which was published in the journal Nature Geoscience, is the first study memprediski fate of Earth in 1000 years. The scientists used computer simulations to explore the scenario of 'zero emissions' which began in 2010 and 2100.
In addition to the West Antarctic ice melts, at the same time, 30 percent of the desert in northern Africa turned into dry land. Warming seas are rising to five percent trigger the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet, which covers roughly the same with the vast prairie in Canada.
This research has not ended. Scientists plan to continue this research to find out more when the West Antarctic ice is completely destroyed and melted.
