Rising sea levels could severely disrupt crude oil shipments and erode energy security in import-dependent countries like China, South Korea and Japan, with many of the world’s biggest terminals vulnerable to flooding, researchers said on Tuesday.
Melting ice and swelling seas caused by rising temperatures could “unleash unstoppable multi-metre sea level rise which will not only sink key oil ports and disrupt global oil trade but also swamp coastal refineries and petrochemical facilities”, the China Water Risk (CWR) think tank warned in a report.
A 2021 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that on current trends, average sea levels could rise by more than a metre by the end of the century, adding that a two-metre rise could not be ruled out.

A alternativa correta indica que o texto tem por objetivo informar sobre os perigos da elevação do nível do mar para portos e o comércio de petróleo.
O texto apresenta dados e previsões científicas, cita um think tank (CWR) e o IPCC, e descreve efeitos concretos: inundação de terminais, interrupção de embarques e risco a refinarias e instalações petroquímicas.
Essa sequência de informações e exemplos sinaliza intenção expositiva e preventiva, mostrando causas (derretimento de gelo, aumento do mar) e consequências (ameaça à segurança energética de países importadores).
Portanto, o foco é esclarecer leitores sobre a vulnerabilidade das infraestruturas portuárias e as implicações para o abastecimento global de petróleo.
