SINGAPORE: Sea levels in Singapore could increase by 1.37m by 2150, in a scenario where a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions leads to global warming exceeding 4 deg C by the end of the century, a new study has found.
This was one of the projections revealed from a study conducted by the Nanyang Technological University’s Earth Observatory of Singapore, which aimed to extend projections of future sea-level rise beyond 2100 – by taking into consideration the different trajectories of global carbon dioxide emissions based on the latest available data.
