yeah right..cooling...good one. So you don't care what the IPCC say? they are all fools and the stuff you found is the truth ? Get serious.
Quotes from the internet:
One frequently sees articles claiming a certain amount of global warming or sea level rise is inevitable based on the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere.
Locked-in warming is commonly estimated to be 1.5 degrees C (2.7° F) above preindustrial levels, about a one-half degree above the current temperature.
This is the aspirational target of the 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The maximum rise of about 2 meters (7 feet) in these scenarios is quite moderate compared to what could happen. The IPCC’s range for “multi-millennial” commitment is 3 to 13 meters (10 to 36 feet) for warming of 2 degrees C.
What is to be done.
Significant sea level rise is unavoidable. Adaptation will be necessary.
The uncertain rate of sea level rise makes planning difficult. A 2015 report by the New Zealand Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment discusses the choice of time horizons. They describe that a 50-year planning horizon may be sufficient for projects with a short intended life and a 100-year planning horizon may not be enough for those with a long life. Their recommendation is to use a timeframe “appropriate for different types of development.”What is necessary or feasible will vary by location.
Levees, tidal barriers, seawalls and elevating infrastructure may be possible. It would make sense not to allow new development in low-lying areas.
Adaptation methods are extensively discussed in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Working Group II Report.
