Armed with new data from the University of California Irvine and NASA,
Climate Central highlighted previously released data and images this
week to show how an unstoppable melting Antarctic glacier will impact
the U.S.
The rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is
expected to lead to at least 4 feet of global, sea-level rise over the
next two-plus centuries, and at least 10 feet thereafter. Climate Central gave artist Nickolay Lamm some
of its data related to rising sea levels with the idea of him
reenacting famous scenes from U.S. cities under the premise of a
12-foot-or-more rise.
The organization republished those “photorealistic” scenes
a day after the Cal-NASA report. They which include Venice Beach,
Harvard University’s campus and other famous, coastal locations that
would be at risk if the research were to hold true.
