Scientists Expect a Big Sea Level Rise During This Century
- "Six of the 10 experts contacted by Reuters in the last 10 days stuck to projections by the UN Climate Panel that sea levels will rise by between about 20 and 80 cms [between about 8 and 31 inches] by 2100. Four said gains could be higher because of likely bigger thawing of Antarctica and Greenland. None thought the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] was exaggerating the risks." - excerpt from this Reuters article.
