Sea Levels 2 - 4 m Higher Until ~ 5,000 Years Ago Imply Surface Temps Were At Least 5 °C Warmer According to the accepted (IPCC) formula for calculating the contribution of ocean warming (thermal expansion) to sea level rise upon reaching equilibrium, every additional degrees Celsius of surface warmth yields -LSB-.

The thermal expansion coefficient of
sea water (in units of 10 ^ -7 / °C) ranges from 254 (at
surface / -2 °C) to 1269 (at ~ 2000m / 2 °C) with
higher values with increasing
temps (especially at the
surface).
