Capping global temperature rise at two degrees Celsius over baseline is no longer seen as enough to avoid a catastrophic rise in sea levels that would decimate the earth’s coastlines and displace hundreds of millions of people, climate scientists warn.
A report released Thursday by the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative, compiled by more than 60 scientists and policy experts, is sounding the alarm on new modelling data that indicates the 2015 Paris Agreement is woefully out-of-date.

The consortium is urging world leaders to take stock of new research ahead of the United Nations’ COP28 climate conference later this month. According to the report, the only road forward is ensuring that global temperatures do not rise over 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, much lower than the two degree maximum set at the Paris Climate Accords.
“We have time, but not much time,” reads the report’s preface, written by the president of Chile and prime minister of Iceland. “We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice.”
If global average temperatures rise by two degrees, the Earth faces a sea-level rise of more than 12 metres, or 40 feet — and that’s the conservative estimate.
The report states sea levels could rise up to 20 metres, or 65 feet, citing a “compelling number of new studies, taking into account ice dynamics, paleo-climate records from Earth’s past, and recent observations of ice sheet behaviour.”
If this is allowed to happen, the planet faces “extensive coastal loss and damage well beyond limits of feasible adaption,” the report warns.
Experts warn seawall damage sign of things to come amid sea level rise and climate change. |Read more https://globalnews.ca/news/10098366/sea-level-rise-20-metres-report-climate-change/| globalnews.ca/news/10098366/se…

That’s a good article — thank you for sharing it.
These banks controlling the world banking system would certainly have a lot of influence. No doubt, a lot of big companies have made billions of dollars from these deals.
With carrying and managing the debt of countries like Germany, this must have been a goldmine to the BIS in peaceful times. It doesn’t look like the BIS promoted conflict, though, as that could negatively impact their profits. Then, we know war is profitable. The US wanted to keep their name out of it as much as possible, but still wanted controlling interests. It’s hard to imagine what information was exchanged in late night phone calls, and meetings.
