Global sea levels WON'T rise to worst case predictions, study argues

A new analysis shows the 'worst case scenario' for is much less severe than the United Nation's current estimates.

The UN's prediction that the melting of Antarctica's so-called 'Doomsday' glaciers could alone raise global sea levels two feet before the year 2100 has shaped global climate policy since at least 2016, when the estimate was first introduced.

The model — which the UN Intergovernmental Panel on (IPCC) does admit is 'low likelihood' — projects this melt could raise sea levels up 50-ft by 2300.
