|a During ice-age cycles, continental ice volume kept pace with slow, multi-millennial scale, changes in climate
forcing. Today, rapid greenhouse gas (GHG) increases have outpaced ice-volume responses, likely
committing us to . 9 m of long-term sea-level rise (SLR). We portray a context of naturally precedented
SLR from geological evidence, for comparison with historical observations and future projections. This
context supports SLR of up to 0.9 (1.8) m by 2100 and 2.7 (5.0) m by 2200, relative to 2000, at 68% (95%)
probability. Historical SLR observations and glaciological assessments track the upper 68% limit. Hence,
modern change is rapid by past interglacial standards but within the range of ‘normal’ processes. The upper
95% limit offers a useful low probability/high risk value. Exceedance would require conditions without
natural interglacial precedents, such as catastrophic ice-sheet collapse, or activation of major East Antarctic
mass loss at sustained CO2 levels above 1000 ppmv. |
