Charts: Climate Change Effect on Sea Levels

Alarming news about the possibility of a large portion of Bermuda to become submerged were revealed by “The Impact of Climate Change on Bermuda”, written by Dr Anne Glasspool.

The following series of diagrams show the impact of a potential sea level rise of 0.59 metres [the upper end of the predictions] and 2 metres, the predicted upper limit possible by the end of the century. The red areas indicated locations that could effectively become underwater should this occur. The diagrams have been extracted from the report.

The report says that with a 0.59m sea level rise, up to 534 buildings in Bermuda would be affected, with a staggering 1,977 impacted by a 2m rise.

Shown below is the airport; the report calls the situation at the L.F Wade International Airport “alarming” and shows that with a 2m sea level rise, the whole airport will be underwater. Even a 0.59 m rise would eliminate the Airport Waste and Land Reclamation Facility.
