Even 1 meter would cut right across the Peace Museum grounds, near the site where scientists held a line of hazard tape to symbolize the danger.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the southern part of the City of Hiroshima also would be inundated, especially at the 2-meter level.<\/p>\n<p>These potential extreme levels could occur if tipping points and instabilities are triggered in the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Conversely, if the global community course-corrects to lower emissions in the next three decades \u2013 reaching net zero by 2050 \u2013 sea-level rise could be limited to around 0.5 meters, leaving most of Hiroshima untouched, though still subject to greater threats from storms and tidal surges.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit by scientists took place on the margins of the annual Antarctic Treaty meetings, hosted this year by the government of Japan in Hiroshima. The event preceded a formal presentation on COP31 by host country T\u00fcrkiye, which has established an extensive Antarctic program over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>The full press release can be read
