Document Summary
Ice and sea level: where to invest in property. Paleo sea level data exhibit no discernable change in sea level over the past 3000 years. Observations show a sea level rise of 0. 3 m (a foot) so far. With sudden warming, sea level rises at an initial rate of roughly 3mm/year/k. Climate has warmed (on average) +1k = 0. 3m. In the u. s. and most of europe, sea level rise is around the global average of. In parts of canada and northern europe, sea level is falling due to isotactic rebound. During a glacial vs. during an interglacial. For a sustained amount of global warming, the committed sea-level rise is the eventual amount of rise you will get once the ocean and ice sheets have equilibrated to the new global temperature. To understand sea-level rise, you must understand history. With warming, the committed sea-level rise is about 6m/k (what is coming to you)
