Melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warming water could lift sea levels by as much as 1.5 metres by the end of this century, displacing tens of millions of people. That's the conclusion of a new prediction of sea level rises that for the first time takes into account ice dynamics.

"For the past 2,000 years, the sea level was very stable," Jevrejeva said, explaining that they rose just 2 cm in the 18th century, 6 cm in the 19th century and a greater 19 cm last century. "It seems that rapid rise in the 20th century is from melting ice sheets," she adds.

The researchers said the IPCC had not accounted for ice dynamics - the more rapid movement of ice sheets due to melt water which could markedly speed up their disappearance and boost sea levels.

"If [the sea level] rises by one metre, 72 million Chinese people will be displaced, and 10 percent of the Vietnamese population," said Jevrejeva.

A damaged building in Russia

Seems this one was caused by a bomb. The shape looks like a heart. The most amazing thing is the part above the hole was still there without falling. It goes without saying, they need some more bombs to destroy the remaining building to prevent from the collapse that might injure someone.

BTW, this picture reminds of the terrible earthquake in Haiti. Hope the alive people who are under the wreckage can be saved finally.
