Particularly,
the
new
study
led
by
the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric
Administration
(NOAA)
said
that
future
increases
of
carbon
dioxide
will
cause
longer
droughts
and
rising
sea
levels
as
rain
fall
levels
diminish
and
ice
glaciers
melt.
The
predicted
dry
spells
and
rising
sea
levels
could
persist
for
up
to
1,000
years
even
if
carbon
dioxide
emissions
“are
completely
stopped.”
Said
NOAA
senior
scientist
Susan
Solomon:
“Our
study
convinced
us
that
current
choices
regarding
carbon
dioxide
emissions
will
have
legacies
that
will
irreversibly
change
the
planet.”
Climate
change
would
also
stretch
food
supplies
