St Petersburg on 24 August. By the end of this century, sea levels could rise just 3.5 meters. That forecast on Wednesday shared the chairman of the working group “Sea coast” of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Council Leonid Zhindarev.
«We live in an era of global warming, the most noticeable this process in the Northern Hemisphere, the Arctic region. The melting of glaciers leads to an increase in sea level “, – the expert said in his speech at the press center TASS
According Zhindareva, the above scenario is the most negative.. As an example, he told about the resort area of St. Petersburg, which had already declined beaches line. However, in the future to replace the warming cycle comes a new Little Ice Age.
Earlier, experts from the University of Durham told about the appearance of more than eight thousand lakes with meltwater in Antarctica, which may adversely affect the glacier integrity.
