These wildfires release soot into the atmosphere, which accelerates the rate of melting of glaciers, snow and ice it lands upon, which can lead to less reflectivity, meaning more of the sun's heat is absorbed, leading to more global warming, which leads to even more wildfires, not to mention greater sea level rise, which is already threatening coastal areas around the world.

Information about rates of SLR is most easily obtained from deglaciations, when ice ages terminated and sea level rose by up to 120 — 130 m at mean rates of about 1 m / cy [10 mm / yr] but with rapid steps bracketed by slower episodes.

«It is very likely that the rate of global mean sea level rise during the 21st century will exceed the rate observed during 1971 — 2010 for all Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios due to increases in ocean warming and loss of mass from glaciers and ice sheets.

Global mean surface temperature might well induce sea level rise but even there, it is not a singular factor and SLR is not rising a a calamitous rate as seen in the movies.

''... when correcting for interannual variability, the past decade's slowdown of the global mean sea level disappears, leading to a similar rate of sea - level rise (of 3.3 ± 0.4 mm yr − 1) during the first and second decade of the altimetry era.

The worldwide rate of sea level rise has not appreciably increased since science has had a reliable means of measurement (1992 - present).

Since the early 1990s, sea level rose at a mean rate of ~ 3.1 mm yr − 1.

So, if you looked at less than 18.6 years worth of data without considering that effect, you might be mislead into thinking that the rate of change of mean sea level had slowed down or sped up, when, in fact, it is doing the opposite.

Model projections of the IPCC SRES scenarios give a global mean sea - level rise of 0.09 to 0.88 m by 2100, with sea level rising at rates circa 2 to 4 times faster than those of the present day (EEA, 2004b; Meehl et al., 2007).

The map of regional mean sea level trends provides an overview of variations in the rates of relative local mean sea level observed at long - term tide stations (based on a minimum of 30 years of data in order to account for long - term sea level variations and reduce errors in computing sea level trends based on monthly mean sea level).

The authors observe that wide variations in rates of tectonic uplift and subsidence in different locations around the world at particular times mean no effective coastal management plan can rest upon speculative computer projections regarding an idealised future global sea level, such as those provided by the United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Sea levels have risen 120 metres over the past 18,000 years, a mean rate of rise of 12000 / 18, 000 = 0.67 cm / year.

What it means Although some regions have recently experienced much greater rates of sea level rise, such as the Arctic (3.6 mm / yr) and Antarctic (4.1 mm / yr), with the mid-1980s even exhibiting a rate of 5.3 mm / yr (Holgate, 2007), this newest analysis of the most comprehensive data set available suggests that there has been no dramatic increase — or any increase, for that matter — in the mean rate of global sea level rise due to the historical increase in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration.

The G refers to global, thus the MEAN global T must rise, the mean sea ice extent must decrease, global sea level trend must increase, global tornadoes must rise, global floods must increase, the rate of global sea riseust rise, and all the global change MUST be catastrophic, and clearly outside of recent past global fMEAN global T must rise, the mean sea ice extent must decrease, global sea level trend must increase, global tornadoes must rise, global floods must increase, the rate of global sea riseust rise, and all the global change MUST be catastrophic, and clearly outside of recent past global fmean sea ice extent must decrease, global sea level trend must increase, global tornadoes must rise, global floods must increase, the rate of global sea riseust rise, and all the global change MUST be catastrophic, and clearly outside of recent past global flux.

The largest positive contribution to sea level probably comes from ground water mining, which means the extraction of ground water from storage in aquifers in excess of the rate of natural recharge.

Between 1904 and 1953 global sea levels rose by 2.03 mm per year, whereas from 1954 to 2003 they rose by only 1.45 mm per year, giving an annual mean rate of 1.74 mm per year over the 100 years to 2003, or seven inches per century.
