Bookmark and Share

There is an article in the last edition of the Natural Hazards Observer on page 2 of the magazine. It does not appear to be all that clear how much the sea will rise in the next 91 years. There are estimates that range from seven inches to more than 23 feet.

I did note that the majority of sea rise comes from thermal expansion of the oceans, not from polar cap melt.
