Sentences with phrase «accelerate sea level rise far»
It is a sweeping and valuable cross-disciplinary description of ways in which climate and ocean dynamics, pushed by the planet's human - amplified greenhouse effect, could accelerate sea level rise far beyond the range seen as plausible in the last report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the most recent review of what leading experts on sea level think, this 2014 paper: «Expert assessment of sea - level rise by AD 2100 and AD 2300.»

The net rise in sea level associated with this decline is about 1.3 mm / yr, which will likely accelerate with further warming.
Since so much of the ice sheet is grounded underwater, rising sea levels may have the effect of lifting the sheets, allowing more - and increasingly warmer - water underneath it, leading to further bottom melting, more ice shelf disintegration, accelerated glacial flow, and further sea level rise, and so on and on, another vicious cycle.
Greenhouse gases are already having an accelerating effect on sea level rise, but the impact has so far been masked by the cataclysmic 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, according to a new study led by the...
Modern tide gauge and satellite measurements indicate that sea level rise has accelerated further within the 20th Century.
This discovery creates further issues with climate models describing accelerating sea level rise, such as those with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its followers with NOAA and NASA.
Arctic warming alters weather patterns far from the region and also accelerates sea level rise globally with the melting of the massive Greenland ice sheet.
Meanwhile, scientists are concerned that the rate of sea level rise could further accelerate in a world forced to rapidly warm by human fossil fuel burning.
Let us jump straight in with the following graph which nicely sums up the key findings about past and future sea - level rise: (1) global sea level is rising, (2) this rise has accelerated since pre-industrial times and (3) it will accelerate further in this century.
