New study predicts much faster sea level rise from melting polar ice.
Sea levels could rise by up to one-and-a-half meters by the end of this century, according to a new study by a UK/Finnish team of scientists.
The estimate, presented at a major science conference in Vienna, is considerably greater than the United Nations climate panel forecast last year (28-43cm by 2100). The new study takes into account the accelerated pace of melting polar ice caps.
