Understanding climate for the benefit of society. BCCR is a collaboration on climate research between the University of Bergen, NORCE, The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research and Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center.
Even though there are uncertainties and ongoing scientific discussions, the panel was clear on one point: our human emissions of fossil fuels are the key factor in preventing potential dangers - regardless of the uncertainties around the consequences.

Key takeaway: Sea level rise isn't just about coastal flooding. It's a global climate disruptor affecting inland regions too.
Both coastal AND inland countries face new threats from rising seas.

Intensification of extreme cold events in East Asia in response to global mean sea-level rise - Nature Communications
This study uses climate model experiments and shows that global mean sea-level rise can reshape atmospheric circulation and intensify winter cold extremes in East Asia, threatening not only coastal but also inland regions.

General sea level has risen by ~0.2 m over the past century and is projected to rise further by 0.38 m (0.77 m) by 2100.
The relationship between the response of extreme cold days and sea-level rise is nonlinear. Significant increases in cold extremes appear once sea level rise exceed ~0.6m. (3/4)

The mechanism: Sea level rise → North Pacific warming → atmospheric Rossby waves → weakened westerlies → more blocking events over Eurasia → Arctic cold air floods into East Asia.
It's a cascade effect linking oceans to atmospheric circulation to extreme weather. (2/4)
