More medieval superstition and futuristic propaganda dressed up as science! Alarmism and hysteria!
We can not even forecast local weather accurately for more than barely 24 hours!
"Editor’s summary
Global warming is causing sea level to rise, inundating and shifting coastal ecosystems. Sea level rise has already led to population declines of coastal species and even an extinction.
Jiang et al. estimated the extent of projected future sea level rise’s effects on terrestrial vertebrate diversity at the global scale. They found that one-fifth to two-thirds of species will be exposed to sea level rise in some part of their habitats, depending on the taxonomic group and projection, with especially high diversity threatened by sea level rise in Southeast Asia. Considering refugia from sea level rise in conservation priorities may be important for protecting species in the future.
Abstract
Sea level rise (SLR) threatens terrestrial biodiversity, yet its spatiotemporal and species-specific impacts remain unclear. Integrating relative SLR projections across five shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) with area of habitat (AOH) maps for 34,120 terrestrial vertebrate species, we project that species exposed to SLR will increase from up to 13,680 in 2050 to 15,324 by 2100, including 57 to 63% of birds, 47 to 52% of mammals, 28 to 36% of reptiles, and 20 to 24% of amphibians. In Southeast Asia, inland inundation areas support high richness.
Under SSP5-8.5, species facing >10% habitat inundation surge from 18 in 2050 to 109 by 2100, with reptiles and already threatened species overrepresented. Safeguarding SLR refugia—the noninundated habitats for exposed species—is critical, yet more than 96% lie outside protected areas, which means that early international action is required. [???]"
