That estimate was based in part on the fact that sea level is now rising 3.2 mm / yr (3.2 m / millennium)[57], an order of magnitude faster than the rate during the prior several thousand years, with rapid change of ice sheet mass balance over the past few decades [23] and Greenland and Antarctica now losing mass at accelerating rates [23]--[24].

During periods when ice sheets have been relatively stable, such as the last several millennia (the late Holocene), sub-millennial sea - level variability arose primarily from changes in atmosphere / ocean dynamics.

Here we show that fluctuations in Antarctic Ice Sheet discharge caused by relatively small changes in subsurface ocean temperature can amplify multi-centennial climate variability regionally and globally, suggesting that a dynamic Antarctic Ice Sheet may have driven climate fluctuations during the Holocene.

Rapid sea - level changes (10 meters within 1000 years) were found in ancient coral reefs: Thompson and Goldstein (2005); Blanchon et al. (2009) found a «2 — 3 - m jump in sea level» in a century, presumably due to ice sheet instability, during a period warmer than the 20th century.

However, substantial ice sheet changes that occurred during the last hundreds to few thousands of years remain poorly quantified and are not included in our model.

The ice sheet's thickness makes its temperature much more resistant to change than the six inches of snow that might fall on your driveway during a winter snowstorm.

A simple ice budget calculation from ESL records demonstrates that the change in ice volume over Antarctica during the Late Glacial was at least comparable with the Scandinavian ice sheet, and quite possibly larger.

Most of the whiplash climate changes of the past were during icy periods that had ice sheets in Canada and Scandinavia.

From the Greenland cores there are two really important considerations; (1) ~ 130k DOES NOT get us back to the start of the last interglacial, from which one can infer that the Greenland sheet may have completely melted away during the inception and early millenia of the Eemian, and (2) the better resolution of Greenland ice (as opposed to Antarctic ice) has repeatedly shown that temperature changes precede CO2 changes.

To a first approximation, sea - level changes reflect the volume of ocean water bound in continental ice sheets during the ice ages.

One implication is that if humans burn most of the fossil fuels, thus injecting into the atmosphere an amount of CO2 at least comparable to that injected during the PETM, the CO2 would stay in the surface carbon reservoirs (atmosphere, ocean, soil, biosphere) for tens of thousands of years, long enough for the atmosphere, ocean and ice sheets to fully respond to the changed atmospheric composition.

Based on ice - sheet model simulations consistent with elevation changes derived from a new Greenland ice core, the Greenland ice sheet very likely contributed between 1.4 m and 4.3 m sea level equivalent, implying with medium confidence a contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet to the global mean sea level during the last interglacial period.

The assumption that the rate of change of sea level rise from those components that were small during the 20th century and which have been attributed to ice sheets would scale with global temperature change leads to a strong and unlimited amplification of future sea level rise when global temperatures continue to increase.
