My top 3 impressions up-front: The sea level projections for the year 2100 have been adjusted upwards again. The IPCC gives more consideration to the large long-term sea-level rise beyond the year 2100. And here is the key sea-level graphic from the Summary for Policy Makers: Source: IPCC AR6, Figure SPM.8.

The problems with the SPM are similar those from the previous fifth assessment report which prompted me to write a post in 2013. I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. mm increase every year.

In 2013, Jianli Chen and colleagues at the University of Texas, Austin showed that an eastward drift of the poles that began in 2005 is linked to melting glaciers and the associated sea-level rise. This allowed GRACE to determine the shape of the Earth and monitor changes in sea level, glaciers and groundwater.

While environmental security remains a hotly contested idea, it is nonetheless an increasingly popular conceptual framing used by global actors who are concerned with stemming the dangerous ramifications of environmental change (Floyd and Matthew 2013). The scope and emphasis of environment-security connections, however, is deeply contested.

It was first rebuilt in 2013, was declared overfished again in 2018, and has been rebuilt again in 2021. It’s changing more than ever with rising sea levels, warming temperatures, ocean acidification, deoxygenation and more. What does this mean? The ocean is not at a stasis.
