The IPCC report has laid out some alarming sea level projections for the future. But the relationship between sea level rise and real-world risk is complex.

With climate action more crucial than ever, the IPCC needs to communicate clearly and strongly to as many people as possible. So how is it going so far?
If we’re to avert a climate disaster, we must not underestimate the power of climate misinformation campaigns to undermine this week’s IPCC findings.
Visualising climate change data in accessible ways can help convince audiences from all backgrounds about the urgency of the climate crisis.
The report projects an increase in mean temperatures and hot extremes across the continent. Worryingly the rate of temperature increase across the continent exceeds the global average.
From the high Yukon to the mountains of Central Asia, melting ice exposes fragile ancient artifacts that tell the story of the past – and provide hints about how to respond to a changing climate.
During the warmer months, the number of days when the river ceases to flow will increase. Climate change is to blame.
It may be possible to expand people’s circle of moral concern and, in turn, promote reconciliation through connecting people to nature.
Climate disasters are drawing comparisons to apocalyptic films. Their happy endings may have given us a false sense of hope.
The world faces a galloping climate emergency. Yet Australia has carved out a name for itself as a global laggard.
Five climate-sensitive infectious diseases exist in the Torres Strait. Traditional Owners are calling on the UN for action.
We know how to flatten the curve of rising greenhouse gas emissions. Doing it is another matter.
We need specific action now to make net zero emissions by 2050 possible.
It’s not just issues like climate change and vaccines that pose problems for conservative thinkers – it’s the way science itself is conducted.
Some of the climate changes will be irreversible for millennia. But some can be slowed and even stopped if countries quickly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, including from burning fossil fuels.
Water-related hazards are exceptionally destructive, and the impact of climate change on extreme water-related events is increasingly evident, a lead author of the new report warns.
New Zealand’s climate has been changing in line with global trends over the last century, warming by 1.1°C. But unless we curb emissions fast, we can brace for more extreme downpours and droughts.
The latest IPCC report makes it clear we can no longer stop the seas from rising, but we can still control how much and how fast sea levels change.
Australia may warm by 4°C or more this century, the IPCC has found. As these IPCC authors explain, there is no going back from some changes in the climate system.
IPCC authors go beyond the headlines to explain how 1.5°C warming is measured – and why there’s still reason to hope, and act, if Earth exceeds that limit.
