A major new study includes some scary implications about how rapidly humans are changing the Earth's climate

Recently, The Guardian reported on a significant new study published in Nature Climate Change, finding that even if we meet our carbon reduction targets and stay below the 2C global warming threshold, sea level rise will eventually inundate many major coastal cities around the world.

20% of the world's population will eventually have to migrate away from coasts swamped by rising oceans. Cities including New York, London, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Calcutta, Jakarta and Shanghai would all be submerged.
