Opis

Sea level rise is the most legitimate concern that global warming is likely to induce. Episodes of abrupt carbon-induced global warming known as 'carbon isotope excursions' (CIEs), such event took place in the early Eocene 55 million years ago. The atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by creating pressure allowing for liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface, absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night (the diurnal temperature variation). Global warming and polar ice melt are not related to the IPCC prediction of sea level rise. Similarly, CO2 emission in the atmosphere is not responsible for global warming rather solar activity. Climate change prediction and the claim of migration of Fifty million coastal population are not based on the scientific evidences.
