the outlook for my powerful presidents. definitely gonna be but as always thank you very much indeed. next a warning of a global warming sea levels could rise even higher than the been warned the estimate is two meters. this could mean millions of millions let me say that again millions of climate refugees fleeingg flood zoneses b by thed of the cenentury will be c coldy the melting. of the polar ice caps and copies in thehe arctic and in greenlan. let's bring in for analysis of france while jim and who's a climate expert who teaches a sales volume paris well. also thank you v very much for joining us. i'm it sounds serious but viously i'm asksking you this with with your knowledge andnd your insight how sererious is ts warning. this is very serious i meaean we've k known for years that the currenent estimate of sea level rise was probably. underestimated the c current esestimate by the a b.. c. d. impact on on top andnd then. on climate change is up about one meter by the end of the century. but it was knownwn that dodot.
3:44 pm
the contribution to see the rise of the m melting off -- polarizd gaps and the degreee none eyes was very underestimated and do you study. provides i kind of robust estimates of what these contribution could be and the conclusion is that it would doublele deceive arise by the ed of the century. and and the study confirms other walk that they'd be produced on thee subject. so this is probably what what could hapappen and and and cleay the base of the arise will accelerate in the coming years which we use usually asks how olold coaststal a areas includiy cd's. and t. and as as the warning goes millions of people will become clilimate refugees w whi- clearly doesn't buy thinking about i'm a simple queststion im sure the ons i is very complplen this be stopped. it can be slow down it cannot be stoppedd.
3:45 pm
eighties for surure that dispute about we continue to rise until the end of the century and even beyoyond the end of the century but this can be slow down and this will depend. to a great extent off all much we would be able to cut greenhouse gas emissions. but we cacan also prepare ourselves for sea level rise and weekends only beef up see defense and a lot of governments are really starting to preparation. for example the indonesian government is currently considering moving object outside the capital citiy outt of seven to basically protect the capital city against floods. and sea level rise so we can see thatat there are major shifts in the preparation that i going on at the moment. another example is from wales in the uk where us movie it is okay don't read people o on fat bonei was just decided to relocate its world popululation because dad relate. won't be able to be protected against you have a right. to will show always a very astute i can say that because of of welsh descent myself so.
