“Ironic”: Major Oil Ports Threatened by Projected Sea Level Rise

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.

Scientists said the threat was ironic as fossil fuel burning causes global heating. They said reducing emissions by moving to renewable energy would halt global heating and deliver more reliable energy. Thirteen of the ports with the highest supertanker traffic will be seriously damaged by just 1 meter of sea level rise, the analysis found.
