The preconditions which gave
rise to rapid temperature changes during the last
ice age do not exist today, but sudden climate changes can not be
excluded in future.»
Based on a model that
excludes ice sheet flow due to a lack of basis in published literature, it is estimated that sea level
rise will be, in a low scenario, 18 to 38 cm (7 to 15 inches) and in a high scenario, 26 to 59 cm (10 to 23 inches).
Re The Holocene, surely it's a time where global temperatures show no sign, until now, of (
excluding the
rise out of the
ice age before that's the cry) temperatures
rising.
IPCC (2001a), pp. 641 - 42, projected between 0.1 and 0.9 m
rise including
ice melting; IPCC (2007b), p. 13 projects 0.2 to 0.6 m explicitly
excluding possible
ice change surprises.
In the future, high - end estimates of
ice discharge and regional effects, such as local thermal expansion and coastal subsidence, place the upper limits of relative sea - level
rise for the Netherlands at 0.65 to 1.3 m by 2100,
excluding gravitational effects.
So in summary, AR5 will attempt to project factors that were specifically
excluded in AR4, factors that will tend to increase overall projections, say, for
ice melt and sea level
rise.
