How much will these factors add to the existing trend toward sea-level rise? At any rate, EPA says there's a 5 percent chance that global warming will not augment the existing trend toward a sea rise. But there's also a 5 percent chance that the sea will rise an extra two feet, and a 1 percent chance that it will rise...

However, the biggest danger, many experts warn, is that global warming will cause sea levels to rise dramatically. Thermal expansion has already raised the oceans 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). But that's nothing compared to what would happen if, for example, Greenland's massive "Even with a small sea level rise,

The complete melting of Greenland would raise sea levels by 7 meters (23 feet). But even a partial melting would cause a one-meter (three-foot) rise. Such a rise A one-meter sea level rise would wreak particular havoc on the Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard of the United States. Global Warming: What Are the Remedies?;

The warming reappeared in 1994. A dramatic global warming, at least partly associated with Depending on which greenhouse gas increase scenario is used (high or low) projected sea-level rise is projected to be anywhere from 0.18 (low greenhouse gas increase) to 0.59 meters for the highest greenhouse gas increase scenario.
