中国富裕沿海城市海平面升幅或比全球平均水平高 20%
China’s rich coastal cities to see sea-level rise up to 20% higher than global average
国际科学家警告，南极冰层融化引发的海平面上升，将使香港、上海等中国城市的升幅比全球平均水平高 15% 至 20%。南极冰量减少造成的引力变化会重新分配全球海水，即使将升温限制在《巴黎协定》最积极目标 1.5 摄氏度，南极本世纪仍有 92% 的概率损失冰量。
International scientists warn that rising sea levels driven by melting Antarctic ice will be 15 to 20 per cent higher in cities such as Hong Kong and Shanghai compared with the global average.
They said gravitational shifts caused by shrinking Antarctic ice would redistribute water across the globe, causing higher ocean levels along China’s densely populated coastlines.
“Even if we limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius [2.7 degrees Fahrenheit], the Paris Agreement’s most ambitious goal, Antarctica still has a 92 per cent chance of losing mass this century,” said lead author Lin Yucheng, an assistant professor at City University of Hong Kong’s school of energy and environment.
