Study Confirms 30-Year-Old Sea Level Rise Projection by IPCC
A recent study has confirmed that a 30-year-old sea level rise projection by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has closely matched actual events. The study, led by Torbjörn Törnqvist of Tulane University, found that real-world emissions have tracked one of the IPCC's middle-of-the-road scenarios, resulting in a global sea level rise of about nine centimeters, nearly matching the eight centimeters predicted. This finding underscores the accuracy of early climate models, despite the lack of advanced technology available at the time. The study highlights the long-standing understanding of climate change fundamentals by scientists.
