Rising Seas
Kerry Emanuel discusses the potential impacts of melting ice on sea levels, highlighting the uncertainty and risks associated with the physics of ice melt. He explains that while current estimates suggest a meter or so of sea level rise by the end of the century, there is still much we don't know about the behavior of ice sheets and glaciers. The conversation touches on the potential consequences for inhabited areas and the importance of considering timescales and the possibility of sudden climate changes.In this clip
