The introduction is more interesting than the conclusion: >Following this, we therefore propose to linearize the relationship between average rate of sea level rise and temperature increase representing the entire preceding century. The slope of this relationship then expresses how sensitive sea level is to century-timescale warming, and we will refer to it as the transient sea level sensitivity (TSLS). The intercept – where the sea level rate of change is zero – we interpret as a balance temperature. I'm not an expert on climate and am therefore not qualified to opine on the suitability of a simple linear model for this sort of system.
