On the high end, recent work suggests that 4 feet is plausible.23, 3,6,7,8 In the context of risk - based analysis, some decision makers may wish to use a wider range of scenarios, from 8 inches to 6.6 feet by 2100.10,2 In particular, the high end of these scenarios may be useful for decision makers with a low tolerance for risk (see Figure 2.26 on global sea level rise).10, 2 Although scientists can not yet assign likelihood to any particular scenario, in general, higher emissions scenarios that
lead to more warming would be expected to lead to higher amounts of sea level rise.

It is not that the polar regions are amplifying the warming «going on» at lower latitudes, it is that any warming going on AT THE POLES is amplified through inherent positive feedback processes AT THE POLES, and specifically this is primarily the ice - albedo positive feedback process whereby more open water
leads to more warming leads to more open water, etc. *** «Climate model simulations have shown that ice albedo feedbacks associated with variations in snow and sea - ice coverage are a key factor in positive feedback mechanisms which amplify climate change at high northern latitudes...»

It is only through positive feedback in which the smaller astronomical forcing triggers the increase in CO2 that then
leads to more warming, and more CO2, etc, that the full warming can be accounted for.
So even though past warm episodes may have been initiated by orbital changes that caused warming and thus caused CO2 to rise, which then
led to more warming, we know that the current warm episode is being driven by increasing CO2 due to the burning of fossil fuels and the clearing of forests.
If CO2 were to
lead to more warming it would also lead to more water vapour.
The increased mid-Holocene solar heating in boreal summer
leads to more warming in the western than in the eastern Pacific, which strengthens the trade winds and inhibits the development of ENSO (Clement et al., 2000, 2004).
Warming is thus accompanied by moistening (more water vapor), which
leads to more warming due to the enhanced water vapor greenhouse effect.
