RISING OCEANS WILL IMPACT 600M PEOPLE
The predicted rise in global sea-levels by 2100 is now expected to be at least 1 metre, and heading for metres unless urgent action is taken, according to presentations at the International Scientific Congress on Climate Change in Copenhagen--report in ScienceDaily.
Even the best-case scenario will hit low-lying coastal areas that house a tenth of the global population--about 600 million people.
