Science of Global Warming

Sea Level Rise “As a quantitative example, let us say that the ice sheet contribution is 1 cm for the decade 2005 – 15 and that it doubles each decade until the West Antarctic ice sheet is largely depleted. That time constant yields a sea level rise of the order of 5 m this century. […] I am confident that it provides a far better estimate than a linear response for the ice sheet component of sea level rise under BAU forcing.” Dr. James E. Hansen NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in 2007
