According to experts, it has reached catastrophic proportions.According to the authors of the latest British scientific study, as many as millions of inhabitants could be forced to migrate, even if the increase in global temperatures would remain below the level of 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial era, according to the study, the "Guardian" reported.The melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica has accelerated by four times since the 1990s due to climate change, and as a result sea and ocean levels are rising, scientists have warned.The goal set by the international community with the Paris climate agreement - that the global temperature increase remains below 1.5 degrees - is already almost unattainable, but even if the use of fossil fuels were drastically reduced in order to meet that goal, the sea level would continue to rise by one centimeter per year until the end of this century, which is too fast a growth for countries to build defensive barriers on the coasts, according to the research.Melting of the ice in Greenland and Antarctica would lead to a rise in sea level by 12 meters.If the annual rise in sea and ocean levels were to remain at approximately one centimeter, then there could be some degree of adaptation and preparation, so that migrations of a catastrophic scale would not occur, said Jonathan Bamber of the University of Bristol.He added that, in a worst-case scenario, developing countries such as Bangladesh would fare much worse than rich countries that have experience in handling large waves, such as the Netherlands.The researchers warned that even if humanity managed to return the planet's temperatures to pre-industrial levels by removing carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere, it would take hundreds, if not thousands, of years for the ice and glaciers to recover.

It will be disastrous
Rising ocean levels due to melting ice caused by global warming could lead to population migrations from coastal areas inland.
