Possible Impacts of a One Meter Rise in MSL at Charlottetown, P.E.I. and at St-John and the Lower Saint-John River, N.-B.
quote

Experiments with the most advanced models show that doubling of the greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), ozone (O3), and chloro-fluorocarbons (CFC's) can occur by the middle of the next century and lead to an increase of the global mean equilibrium surface temperature of 1.5-4.5°C. A global temperature increase of this magnitude is estimated to result in a mean sea level rise of 20 - 140 cm by 2100. This paper examines the physical impacts of a one meter rise in MSL on Charlottetown, P.E.I., and Saint John Harbour and the lower Saint John River …
