Researchers found that about 90 00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:53.259 % of studies underestimated baseline coastal 00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:57.199 water heights by an average of one foot. This 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.879 issue is more common in the global south and 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:03.720 southeast Asia, and less so in Europe. The study 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.560 co -author, Philip Minderhout, attributes this 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.120 to a methodological blind spot in measuring sea 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.660 and land altitudes. Adjusting the baseline height 00:07:13.660 --> 00:07:17.399 means seas rising by just over three feet could 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:23.040 threaten 77 million to 132 million more people. 00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:28.160 In business news, the U .S. stock market rebounded 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.259 on Wednesday from two days of punishing swings 00:07:31.259 --> 00:07:34.560 as oil prices stabilized in reports provided 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.660 encouraging economic updates.

Despite a scary start when South Korea's 00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:58.180 KOSPI index plunged 12 .1%, the market responded 00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:02.060 positively.
