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.

Deforestation and forest fragmentation are making it harder for species to move in response to climate chnage. Efforts to restore natural flows of freshwater into the Florida Everglades are helping to slow the incursion of mangroves into this important freshwater ecosystem as sea levels rise. Photo: T.R.

Some of those predicted changes are already happening such as continued sea level rise which is now irreversible over a time span of hundreds to thousands of years. And by the end of this century, extreme sea-level events which previously occurred every 100 years could happen every year.

For the AMOC (and other climate tipping points ), the only action we can take to minimise the risk is to get out of fossil fuels and stop deforestation as fast as possible. What does it all mean? An AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster. Let’s just assume it is wrong”?

The abandoned coal mines and stripping pits caused major environmental impacts such as acid mine drainage and vast deforestation, but she found beauty and joy in the untouched mountains and forests. She inherited her work ethic from her parents, who built small businesses and were active members of their community.

Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible. Sea levels will continue to rise throughout the 21st century, contributing to more frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-lying areas along coasts around the world.
