WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO SEA LEVELS IF WE BURNED ALL THE WORLD’S FOSSIL FUELS?

The answer is very simple: absolutely NOTHING!

According to a new study published at Science Advances, if people were to burn all the world’s fossil fuels tomorrow, the effect on the Antarctic ice sheet – the largest body of ice on the planet – would be to cause sea levels to rise by the end of this century only by 8cm. And this wouldn’t make much of a difference anyway.

What this means, is that even if the worst doomsday predictions about climate change and rising sea levels would actually come true, they would take place on a timescale so slow that no one alive on the planet at the moment would be remotely affected - nor their children, nor their grandchildren, nor their great-grandchildren.

So, just relax, there’s no disaster waiting for us whatsoever.
