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.
The average sea level rise for New York, New York is 2.8 mm/year. The average sea level rise for Wilmington, North Carolina is 2.2 mm/year. The average sea level decrease (!) for the US Aleutian Islands is -.6 mm/year. This negative relationship may be due to tectonic activity in that region.The average sea level rise for Genova Italy is 1.2 mm/year. The average sea level rise for Portland Maine is 1.9 mm/year.arming of the earth s surface, both land and sea, can also affect atmospheric pressure. If the atmospheric pressure decreases one millibar, the sea level rises 10 millimeters (Sherif, 1999). Therefore, the lowering of atmospheric pressure could have a significant impact on water levels in the future.
