Scientists say efforts to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C under the Paris Climate Agreement may fail to save the world’s ice sheets, resulting in potentially catastrophic sea level rises.
Research led by Durham University, UK, suggests the target should instead be closer to 1°C to avoid significant losses from the polar ice sheets and an accompanying acceleration in sea level rises.
Currently, around 230 million people live within one metre of sea level and melting ice represents an existential threat to those communities, including several low-lying nations.
The climate scientists’ work suggests that while we should continue to work to reduce temperature rises, even optimistic estimates mean we should prepare to adapt to worst case scenarios.
Lead author Professor Chris Stokes, in the Department of Geography, Durham University, UK, said: “There is a growing body of evidence that 1.5 °C is too high for the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. We’ve known for a long time that some sea level rise is inevitable over the next few decades to centuries, but recent observations of ice sheet loss are alarming, even under current climate conditions.
“Limiting warming to 1.5°C would be a major achievement and this should absolutely be our focus. However, even if this target is met or only temporarily exceeded, people need to be aware that sea level rise is likely to accelerate to rates that are very difficult to adapt to – rates of one centimetre per year are not out of the question within the lifetime of our young people."
The team reviewed a wealth of evidence to examine the effect that the 1.5°C target would have on the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, which together store enough ice to raise global sea levels by almost 65 metres.
The mass of ice lost from these ice sheets has quadrupled since the 1990s and the *** Lo

Instabil: Das antarktische Schelfeis kann sich infolge von Schmelzwasser stark biegen -- ()
Surface lakes are causing Antarctic ice shelves to 'bend' and buckle under the massive weight of meltwater, warns new research. See NATIONAL story NNICE. The filling and draining of meltwater lakes has been found to cause a floating Antarctic ice shelf to flex, potentially threatening its stability. Meltwater lakes can contain water weighing 50,000 to two million tons each, and that pushes downward on the ice, creating an indent. If the lake drains, this indent pops back up. If the resultant stress is large enough, the ice surrounding the lake basin weakens, and may start to break, the researchers predict. A team of British and American researchers, led by Cambridge University scientists, has measured how much the McMurdo ice shelf in Antarctica flexes in response to the filling and draining of meltwater lakes on its surface.

See National story NNmelt; Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a scale "off the charts" compared with the previous four centuries, warns a new study. Researchers say that if the Greenland ice sheet melting continues at "unprecedented rates" - which they attribute to warmer summers - it could accelerate the already fast pace of sea level rise. Surface melting across Greenland's mile-thick ice sheet began increasing in the mid-19th Century and then ramped up dramatically during the 20th and early 21st Centuries - and shows no signs of abating, according to the study. Scientists say their findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new evidence of the impacts of climate change on Arctic melting and global sea level rise. Study lead author Dr Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in the United States, said: "Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. "As a result, Greenland melt is adding to sea level more than any time during the last three-and-a-half centuries, if not thousands of years. "And increasing melt began around the same time as we started altering the atmosphere in the mid-1800s."

Scientists say their findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new evidence of the impacts of climate change on Arctic melting and global sea level rise. Study lead author Dr Luke Trusel, a glaciologist at Rowan University in the United States, said: "Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet has gone into overdrive. "As a result, Greenland melt is adding to sea level more than any time during the last three-and-a-half centuries, if not thousands of years. "And increasing melt began around the same time as we started altering the atmosphere in the mid-1800s." *** Local Caption ***

Forscher untersuchen das Schmelzen des grönländischen Eisschildes / 2018 *** Luke Trusel, lead author, holding an ice core just recovered from an ice cap on Nuussuaq Peninsula, west Greenland. See National story NNmelt; Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a scale "off the charts" compared with the previous four centuries, warns a new study. Researchers say that if the Greenland ice sheet melting continues at "unprecedented rates" - which they attribute to warmer summers - it could accelerate the already fast pace of sea level rise. Surface melting across Greenland's mile-thick ice sheet began increasing in the mid-19th Century and then ramped up dramatically during the 20th and early 21st Centuries - and shows no signs of abating, according to the study.
