Rising seas could displace 15 crore people by 2100: Report
Lands inhabited by over 15.3 crore people could be submerged in water by the end of this century, according to a US-based research presented in journal Earth's Future. Based on continuing greenhouse emissions and the resulting collapse of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, the report predicts a 1.5-metre sea-level rise by 2100, double the estimate projected by the UN in 2014.
