The transmitter and receivers Energous brings to my office can send power to two devices that require less than 10 watts of power at a distance of up to 15 feet; eventually, Energous says, it will be able to charge more gadgets at a time.
This debate about whether there will be 1 or 2 meters of sea level rise by 2100, however, pales in comparison to the numbers for the long-term outlook. The last time the planet was steadily 2 degrees C warmer than pre-industrial times, some 120,000 years ago, sea levels were 5 to 10 meters higher than today.
Sea level rise, has been estimated to be on average +2.6 mm and +2.9 mm per year Â± 0.4 mm since 1993. Additionally, sea level rise has accelerated in recent years. Over the 21st century, the IPCC projects for a high emissions scenario, that global mean sea level could rise by 52â98 cm.nticipated effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels, changing precipitation, and expansion of deserts in the subtropics. Warming is expected to be greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice.
