Sea levels could rise by over 5 meters by the year 3000 if current

The video discusses the potential rise in sea levels by the year 3000 if current warming trends continue, with projections ranging from 1.5 to 5.4 meters. It highlights the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on sea levels and the potential collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet as a major contributing factor. The process involves ocean heat causing ice loss, leading to accelerated glacier movement and further sea level rise. Historical data shows sea levels have already risen significantly since 1880, with the rate of increase doubling in recent years.
