WAI - ARIA 1.1] roles, state and properties (e.g., checkboxes
made out of images).
Paul D... As a part - time alarmist I would answer that with a little bit of extrapolation added to some warnings of climate scientists I guess the worst case scenario at least includes the total collapse of the
WAIS, creating tsunamis at least all over the Pacific rim, the subsequent sea level rise of c. 7m will destroy most of the remaining harbours, communication centers near coasts, next up would be the melting of the collapsed ice in the southern ocean altering the climate of the entire southern hemisphere,
making it near - impossible to guess what areas are good for similar agriculture as before, leading to massive movements of people.
The GIS differs from the
WAIS, however, because the former is now largely land - based and the latter marine - based, which potentially
makes the
WAIS more vulnerable to an abrupt and much less predictable onset of retreat.
For the LIM experiment, we enlisted James Fastook to incorporate the marine instability mechanism published by Robert Thomas in 1977 to
make grounded ice margins retreat when ice downdrawn by ice streams became thin enough to become afloat along the
WAIS marine margins.
Above 2,000 GtC, the triggered and baseline cases are very similar, because there is enough warming to
make WAIS collapse highly likely even under the baseline case.
Cities exceeding 100,000 residents where 50 or 100 % of the 2010 population - weighted area will fall below the future committed high tide line,
making no assumption about
WAIS collapse (baseline case)
Coastal state and US total 2010 census populations living on land falling below future committed high tide lines under different emissions scenarios through 2050,
making no assumptions about the inevitability of
WAIS collapse (baseline case)
Coastal state and US total 2010 census populations living on land falling below future committed high tide lines under different fixed long - term warming scenarios,
making no assumptions about the inevitability of
WAIS collapse (baseline case)
These patterns arise because at high emissions levels the total Antarctic contribution to SLR equals or exceeds the sea - level content of the
WAIS in most simulations, so very few simulations must be filtered out from the triggered case,
making it nearly identical to the baseline case.
Total US municipalities becoming locked in so that 25, 50, or 100 % of their 2010 population - weighted area will fall below the future committed high tide line,
making no assumption about
WAIS collapse (baseline case)
The first version, the «baseline» case, employs a minor modification of the warming — SLR relationship from Levermann et al. (10) The second version, the «triggered» case,
makes a major adjustment to explore an important possibility suggested by recent research, by assuming that an inevitable collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (
WAIS) already has been set in motion (17 ⇓ — 19).
Without talking to experts on this, I find myself speculating that, far from easing the sea level rise problem, it will
make it worse by softening the
WAIS.
If anything, less reliable climate models (especially in the details, like the critical question of the stability of the
WAIS) actually
make it more important that we reduce our CO2 emissions!
