Warming to raise seas for 1,000 years: U.N. draft

By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent 30 minutes ago

OSLO (Reuters) - World sea levels will keep rising for more than 1,000 years even if governments manage to slow a projected surge in temperatures this century blamed on greenhouse gases, a draft U.N. climate report says.


The study, by a panel of 2,500 scientists who advise the
United Nations, also says that dust from volcanic eruptions and air pollution seems to have braked warming in recent decades by reflecting sunlight back into space, scientific sources said.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will publish its report, the most complete overview of climate change science, in Paris on February 2 after a final review. It will guide policy makers combating global warming.

"Twenty-first century anthropogenic (human) carbon dioxide emissions will contribute to warming and sea level rise for more than a millennium, due to the timescales required for removal of this gas," the sources quoted the report as saying.

1. Within the next 15 years we will all be living quite differently

As things will become dire and emergency actions will be taken to cut emissions. I am curious what the rapture right global warming denial bunch will be saying then given they are not able to admit to anything ever. I am quite sure it will somehow be the former president Hillarys fault....
