How Much More Global Warming and Sea Level Rise? - 12.15.2008
- Article Number: 4
| Two global coupled climate models show that even if the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere had been stabilized in the year 2000, we are already committed to further global warming of about another half degree and an additional 320% sea level rise caused by thermal expansion by the end of the 21st century. Projected weakening of the meridional overturning circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean does not lead to a net cooling in Europe. At any given point in time, even if concentrations are stabilized, there is a commitment to future climate changes that will be greater than those we have already observed.

| | I guess this person forgot about the colling trend that has been covered up, and the untruth of the stats there is no evidence of any great scientific work done if it can not be replicated we all learned that in the 7th grade | | 11.30.2009 |

| | Couldn’t the fact that we are standing on 50 gazillion square miles of molten lava possibly have something to do with global warming Also, could I get one global warming “expert” to stand on the shore and tell me “this is where the elevation of the ocean is supposed to be ” Obviously if they are stating that ocean levels are rising, then they would be able to say if they are receading and base it on a line in the sand Arguement also goes for glaciers Exactly how many square miles of | | 02.27.2010 |
