According to the predictions of the international group of scientists, global warming will lead to the fact that by the end of the century, almost every year will be observed extreme levels of the sea, which will affect the populated coastline of the world. The results of the study are published in the Nature Climate Change magazine.
Specialists concluded that due to the increase in temperature, the extreme sea levels along the coastal lines around the world by the end of the century will be one hundred times more frequent about half of the 7,283 seats. Consequently, the frequency of catastrophic floods and the strength of storm engines will increase in the southern hemisphere and subtropical areas, the Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula, the southern half of the Pacific coast of North America, as well as in regions such as Hawaii, Caribbean, Philippines and Indonesia.
Most of the eastern, southern and south-west coast of Australia will be almost annually exposed to the extreme sea level by 2100. These changes will occur even with increasing global temperatures by only 1.5 degrees Celsius, and the frequency of extreme phenomena will increase a hundred times to 2070.
Research authors call for more detailed research to understand how changes will affect communities in different countries.
