When we need to redraw the globe

Earth Day, which falls on April 22.4, is an opportunity to look at our planet as it is today - because very soon, it will look completely different. A glimpse of how our children's and grandchildren's globes will look in not-so-many years from now

Glaciers that stand on flat areas melt at a higher rate than those on mountains, there is a fear that the Thwaites Glacier will soon reach a flat area and then its melting will accelerate

when the sea drowns

A new study reveals a danger that threatens one of Israel's rich and unique marine habitats, and which has not received any real attention until now: sea level rise

The risk of flooding worldwide could increase up to 50 times due to sea level rise

  • One response
Researchers who combined satellite data and digital models showed that the risk of floods as a result of coastal inundation may increase in an accelerated manner during the 21st century, up to 50 times under the scenario of global warming without stopping, especially in the tropics. This increase is mainly caused by a combination of sea level rise and ocean waves

Rivers reroute

  • No comments
Changes in the route of rivers will become more and more common in the coming years, following the rise in sea level caused by global climate change. This process may cause more flooding along the rivers, even in areas that did not suffer from them in the past
