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 flux.

Comiso, J.C., 2003: Large scale characteristics and variability of the global sea ice cover.

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.

This sea level documentation lacks traces of a global sea level rise.

The IPCC's overall estimate of global sea level rise, which includes all the other factors that affect sea levels, such as melt from Greenland's ice sheets and the oceans expanding as they warm, is 60 cm by 2100 (with a likely range of 42 to 80 cm).

The melting contributes to about 1 % of the global sea level rise — a small contribution and only 3 — 4 % of the total contribution from global glaciers and ice caps.

Kolker and Hameed begin their article stating «Determining the rate of global sea level rise (GSLR) during the past century is critical to understanding recent changes to the global climate system.

That little word of caution will of course be totally ignored by the media who will jump on the «catastrophic acceleration» of global sea levels «on the heels» the imminent «collapse» the entire Antarctic ice shelf, due in 200 years.

The authors further note that «Estimates of recent rates of global sea level rise (GSLR) vary considerably» noting that many scientists have calculated rates of 1.5 to 2.0 mm per year over the 20th century.

***** Shrinkage of global sea ice.

Consequently, they rhetorically ask why the concomitant worldwide - temperature increase «has not produced acceleration of global sea level over the past 100 years,» and, indeed, «why global sea level has possibly decelerated for at least the last 80 years.»

About 30 % of global sea level rise during the years considered here can be attributed to ocean thermal expansion (Storto et al., 2018, under review).

Using models, they calculated that the greenhouse gas emissions of these 90 companies accounted for around 42 to 50 percent of the global temperature increase and about 26 to 32 percent of global sea level rise over the course of industrial history, from 1880 to 2010.

Since the real meteorological shipping data are very non-uniform and unevenly spaced, ICOADS have done some complex interpolation and extrapolation in both time and space to provide this information as a 2 × 2 degree grid covering most of the global sea surface.

(Rates of global sea level rise continue to quicken.

So contrary to what you read in the popular press all the time, for example today in the Boston Globe, the Antarctic ice sheet is growing not shrinking and therefore contributing to the lowering, not raising, of global sea level.

Now imagine the kind of extra volcanic activity that could result from 1, 6, or 250 feet of global sea level rise under the raging rate of human - caused warming and you begin to understand the concern.

Since 1992, the rate of global sea level rise measured by satellites has been roughly twice the rate observed over the last century, providing evidence of acceleration.

However the complexity of sea surface makes for instance any application of Henry's law be too uncertain, even impossible, to reach any quantitative results concerning the influence of global sea surface temperature on the CO2 content in atmosphere.
