(2016), global warming by more than 2\u00baC will lead to the melting of West Antarctica ice sheets, causing sea level to rise by 5-9 meters over the next 50-200 years.\u00a0 Bangladesh, European lowlands, the US eastern coast, North China plains, and many coastal cities will be submerged.\u00a0 Further increase in global average temperature may eventually lead to runaway warming, turning much of the world unsuitable for human inhabitation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Climate Change 2018-2100 This is Part 5 of the World Energy Annual Report in 2018.\u00a0 Links to Part 1 to Part 4 are shown below: World Energy 2018-2050 World Oil 2018-2050 World Natural Gas 2018-2050 World Coal 2018-2050 This part of the Annual Report provides updated analysis of world carbon [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[3193,113,141,23156,6245],"class_list":["post-40801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-energy-2","category-environment","tag-carbon-dioxide","tag-carbon-emissions","tag-climate-change","tag-minqi-li","tag-peak-oil-barrel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40802,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40801\/revisions\/40802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
