(CNN) The planet is warming rapidly, resulting in historic drought, deadly floods and unusual melting events in the Arctic. It is also causing steady sea level rise, which scientists say will continue for decades. A new study from Climate Central, a nonprofit research group, shows that roughly 50 major coastal cities will need to implement "unprecedented" adaptation measures to prevent rising seas from swallowing their most populated areas.
Climate scientists reported in August the world is already around 1.2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels. Temperatures need to stay below 1.5 degrees, they say — a critical threshold to avoid the most severe impacts of the climate crisis.
i bet we exceed that threshold far sooner than believed

Well it's definitely not a hoax by the Chinese like Trump stated. That's so wrong it doesn't even qualify as a myth. This planet, particularly the US, is in serious trouble if we continue to burn fossil fuels, destroy forests, and consume methane producing livestock. The science is very clear.
nobody with common sense would disagree with that
Outside of this forum, that is true.

This looks like a fait accompli. Chilling. And likely to happen to genZers

But even in the most optimistic scenario, where global greenhouse gas emissions begin to decline today and are slashed to net zero by 2050, global temperature will still peak ABOVE that critical 1.5-degree threshold
In less-optimistic scenarios, where emissions continue to climb beyond 2050, the planet could reach 3 degrees as early as the 2060s or 2070s, and the oceans will continue to rise for decades beyond

The modelling/forecasts do take into account the rate at which it is occuring now but some have suggested that as the population continues to grow, millions more acres of oxygen-generating forests will be destroyed for farmland in developing countries, and that wil push the rate to accelerate.

For 40 years, the fossil fuel industry worked to delay and obstruct government policies that hurt profitability even when their own scientists warned that burning fossil fuels would cause climate change crisis. Similar to tobacco industry funding of misinformation campaigns to deceive public. Now House committee is questioning executives of Exon Mobil, BP, Chevron, Shell, American petroleum institute and US chamber of commerce. They claim support for climate action but none would commit to stop lobbying against climate legislation.

Of course. Profits over people. Sad part is they won't suffer repercussions because they will all be long gone when the worst arrives later this century.

Remember 20 years ago when Gore told everyone that the US coast lines would all be underwater in 20 years? Pushing fear and nothing happened. It hasn't happened anywhere on this globe!

Nods off at the climate summit ... checks his watch several times during the transferring of soldiers... what an embarrassment.... the republican way ...work hard and not rely on government to pay your bills and support you... ( if you are healthy).

Past projections underestimated sea level rise according to European geoscience union. National oceanic atmospheric administration found flooding far more common along many locations of US coastline where 40% of Americans live. Worldwide, millions of people are already impacted. But sea level rise isn't uniform around the world so that sea level rise could be higher or lower than global average. In the future, rate of sea level rise is expected to accelerate exponentially.

Good points, Thirdperson. Predictions about future events aren't expected to be 100% accurate all the time, particularlyt when it comes to a specific timeline.

Climate change: 1049 cities pledge to slash emissions in half by 2030
Mayors from 1049 cities around the world committed to slashing greenhouse gas emissions in half by the end of this decade on Tuesday, indicating an increased sense of urgency for urban centers on the front lines of the climate crisis.
Global warming is an existential threat, definitively not some sort of left wing "hoax" spouted out from cracked ideological misinformation. Earth is our only home, we are not ready for interplanetary immigration just yet. We need to save this planet now, before it's too late.
Dillon, we make a stand now, or there will be nobody left to go to the chopper.--Dutch, Predator

100 nations pledge to cut methane emissions by 30%!
Approximately 100 countries have signed on to a global pledge to cut methane emissions by 30%, led by President Joe Biden of the United States and the European Union.
“This is fantastic,” European Commission President Ursula von de Leyen said Tuesday as she announced the news, explaining that slashing methane emissions will have a quick impact. “Doing that will immediately slow down climate change.” “Cutting back on methane emissions is one of the most effective things we can do to reduce near term global warming and keep 1.5 degrees Celsius. It is the lowest-hanging fruit,” she concluded.
Methane — the main component of natural gas — is invisible and odorless, and has 80 times more warming power in the near-term than carbon dioxide.
