hot off press from New Zealand: my island house is doomed
#1
I just spent 20 hours in the air on 3 flights, and then went straight to 2 workshops before the meeting after like 1 hours sleep (Auckland New Zealand). I gave a talk, but one of the others included that with 400 ppm CO2, the current level, sea level will rise 22 m. It will stabilize at +22 m and stay there unless CO2 goes above 700 ppm. They did not give a time frame, but recent papers said the fastest rate of sea level rise related to collapse of marine-based Antarctic ice sheets will occur in 200 years. That is not the whole 22 m, and that is rate: one could project that most of that marine based ice (+ Greenland) could be gone in 500 years.

This is ironic because the house we had built on the island is between 20 and 21 m elevation.
