> Abstract

> Sea level has been steadily rising over the past century,
> predominantly due to anthropogenic climate change. The rate of sea
> level rise will keep increasing with continued global warming, and,
> even if temperatures are stabilized through the phasing out of
> greenhouse gas emissions, sea level is still expected to rise for

> project anthropogenic sea level rise of 28–56 cm, 37–77 cm, and
> 57–131 cm in 2100 for the greenhouse gas concentration scenarios
> RCP26, RCP45, and RCP85, respectively. Our uncertainty ranges for
> total sea level rise overlap with the process-based estimates of the

prove it !   How much ?    and Where ?

  last # I saw was less than 1/10 of a mm.
