In the relevant chapter of the AR5, there is discussion of, for example, the MISI hypothesis, which could, under the «wrong» circumstances,
accelerate SLR more rapidly.
The upward trend of the AMO SST index during recent decades coincides with the observed
accelerated SLR along the US northeast coast.
Not exact matches
CMIP5 running so hot even Santer's November 2016 paper with the erroneous tropical stratosphere adjustment only reduced the discrepancy to 1.7 x.
SLR not
accelerating.
Blith, when local sea levels have not risen and in some places actually fallen since 1950, regardless of the hydrology, then please explain how
SLR can possibly have
accelerated?
Thanks for not being able to show Aberdeen
SLR rate is
accelerating.
I challenge you to provide a link to shows
SLR is
accelerating at Aberdeen and you come back with old news about Greenland.
Not at all true when
SLR accelerates rapidly over the course of a century.
(DB) & KR - The meaning of sensible adjustments should be obvious, especially as
SLR has slowed to around 2.54 mm / yr, as opposed to «
accelerating.»
Is there still «close agreement» that
SLR is «steadily
accelerating» as per the 2009 claim, or have some sensible adjustments been made since then?
We use the equations in (Rahmstorf, S. 2007), and allow users to examine the impact of higher or lower future
SLR per degree of warming through a sensitivity parameter, so that users can examine, for example, the impact of higher future rates of
SLR due to
accelerating melt and calving from the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets.
Scientists state there is a huge increase in Greenland and Glacier ice melt and that
SLR will be
accelerating rapidly leading to coastal inundation.
Obviously, no one disputes that Sea Level has been rising since the last Ice Age - very slowly; and certainly, if Sea Level Rise (
SLR) is or will
accelerate rapidly, we need to know about it, and plan for it; but, in short, it seems that the General Assembly want's actual proof, instead of using an Ouija Board to predict acceleration of Sea Level Rise.
(Some statements of the bleedin» obvious in the following, but please bear with me):
SLR is perhaps more likely to begin to
accelerate towards the * end * of the century but once it gets going it will keep on coming for several hundred years (at least) and will be unstoppable because it is gravity driven.
Rhetorically speaking, was glacial melt and
SLR from warming «equally measured» in 150 year increments from 20k years ago at the end of the LIA to 10k years ago when the last glacier receded from New York; or did the velocity of
SLR increase over this period as factors, like the before mentioned,
accelerated the velocity of melt through the period?
The obvious hockey stick of CO2 leading the way and
SLR now clearly
accelerating upwards in unison with global temp.
So she pointed out
SLR has not
accelerated.
