I take it with a grain of salt because of the title including: "suggests"
And what's the projection, will it rise 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 100, 200 or 300 meters in the next 100 years?
I have seen so many numbers, I don't know what the current estimation is.
Anyway I tried to make sense of the article:
"
This number has hovered around 0.6 inches per decade since 1900...[]...Global sea level, the paper concluded, rose no less than 5.5 inches over the last century, and likely saw an increase of 6.7 inches."
lets see, 6.7 is likely. 6.7 / 10 = 0.67 inches per decade. and no less than 0.55 (lower than measured).
- Freestyler_3 10y agoOr can someone explain these numbers otherwise (since people seem to disagree with down-votes)
- triplesec 10y agoYou're confusing C20th sea level rises with projected future changes, which are much faster. (I'm sure you can find models, estimates and measurements they make the from and the associated data from climate reports)
