Given present global warming trends and predicted climate change for the next century, sea level is estimated?

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin

A. in an amount unrelated to the temperature of the ocean.
B. between 11 cm and 88 cm (4.3 in to 34.6 in).
C. more than 30 m (100 ft).
D. in a way that will not threaten coastal inhabitants.

D people always think the world is coming to an end. they pick and choose facts and statistics to make it seem true.

    I’m not sure the exact height I think its B. And for the other answer, it is affecting coastal inhabitants places like New Orleans already proved that with massive flooding.

    I think C if enough ice melts, otherwise B (I thought about a meter). AFAIK there is still some uncertainty about whether antarctic ice passes a tipping point.
    Ocean temperature does make a small difference because water expands a bit, though that effect is I think negligible in comparison to melting ice sheets and glaciers.
    Coastal inhabitants are for certain threatened – many regions of major cities like London are less than 1m above high tide, apart from entire islands like Tuvalu and large areas of Bangladesh.
