The point of no return for global sea level rise
In short: Oceanographer John Englander addresses a critical question: now that sea level rise is effectively irreversible, how do we prepare for the consequences? This Q&A session explores the science behind the shift and the revolutionary impacts on our coastlines.
In this discussion filmed at the Royal Institution, expert John Englander provides a macro-perspective on marine science based on his field research in Greenland and Antarctica. He addresses the specific proportion of sea level rise caused by greenhouse gases and the possibility of the oceans returning to their prehistoric levels from 200,000 years ago.
The session is essential for understanding the transition from prevention to adaptation. By examining the 'big picture' of marine science, Englander highlights why current trends are permanent and what that means for global infrastructure and human habitation.
