More on sea levels ......

..... from RedOrbit, and quite worrying it is too.

"According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average rise in global sea levels will be 28 to 43 centimeters (1 – 1.4 feet) by 2100. However, according to a new scientific analysis this predicted number is substantially low, and sea levels could actually rise by nearly one and a half meters (almost 5 feet) in that same time frame."

Yes, I know it contains that nasty little word 'could', but bearing in mind that a one metre rise (let alone 1.5 metres) would put millions at risk, that's quite a cause for concern, especially to countries like Bangladesh.

"Eighty to 90% of Bangladesh is within a meter or so of sea level, so if you live in the Ganges delta you're in a lot of trouble; and that's an awful lot of people."
