|a The past 12 months have been a landmark as far as recognition of sea level rise is concerned.
Last year, the 4th International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report came out and predicted
a maximum two-foot rise in the sea level, not counting the disintegrating ice sheets, by the year 2100. The two-foot rise is mainly from thermal expansion of ocean water. There is widespread agreement among sea-level experts that the ice sheets are likely to be the driving forces of sea-level rise this coming century. The United Nations climate change conference, which met in Bali last December, also prominently addressed the rising sea (although the conference unfortunately assumed that sea-walling the world's shorelines would solve the problem). |
