"Scientists predicted how much higher seas will rise due to ice melt — it's grim
Recent climate research published in Nature Climate Change has confirmed that melting icecaps in Greenland will contribute to a minimum of 27 centimeters rise in ocean levels even if we collectively stop burning fossil fuels immediately.
We have reached a “point of no return.” And what makes it worse is that this is the most conservative estimate, as it only factors in the contribution made by the ice shelf in Greenland. Projections have also confirmed that overall planetary warming has exceeded the original estimates for global heating and that we are in for a difficult millennium if drastic action isn’t taken immediately."

The worst case scenario is here so now we need to figure out the actual impact and plan accordingly. The next 50 years will be extremely bad and I'm glad I won't be here to see it.
