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
