With the recent shift of this oscillation to its opposite phase, scientists expect sea level rise along the West Coast to accelerate in coming years.

However, the share of thermal expansion in global sea level rise has declined in recent decades as the shrinking of land ice has accelerated (Lombard et al 2005).

It is a sweeping and valuable cross-disciplinary description of ways in which climate and ocean dynamics, pushed by the planet's human - amplified greenhouse effect, could accelerate sea level rise far beyond the range seen as plausible in the last report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the most recent review of what leading experts on sea level think, this 2014 paper: «Expert assessment of sea - level rise by AD 2100 and AD 2300.»

Eric Rignot most recent work in 2008 supported a larger, accelerating contribution of Antarctica's ice mass balance to the rise in sea level.

Moreover, recent studies suggest that ice sheet loss is accelerating and that future dynamics and instability could contribute significantly to sea level rise this century.

Recent estimates suggest that globally, human groundwater extraction currently exceeds rates of water capture from dam building, so that groundwater depletion is now accelerating sea level rise.)

Recent evidence of faster rates of global sea - level rise suggests that these projections may be too low.3, 4,5 Given recent accelerated shrinking of glaciers and ice sheets, scientists now think that a rise of 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) is plausible — and that as much as 6.6 feet (2 meters) is possible though less likRecent evidence of faster rates of global sea - level rise suggests that these projections may be too low.3, 4,5 Given recent accelerated shrinking of glaciers and ice sheets, scientists now think that a rise of 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) is plausible — and that as much as 6.6 feet (2 meters) is possible though less likrecent accelerated shrinking of glaciers and ice sheets, scientists now think that a rise of 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) is plausible — and that as much as 6.6 feet (2 meters) is possible though less likely.16

«A recent article in The Gisborne Herald said «warming has been accelerating over the past 20 years», and there is «a runaway greenhouse effect», and «rising sea levels», but none of these things are real.

The loud divergence between sea - level reality and climate change theory — the climate models predict an accelerated sea - level rise driven by the anthropogenic CO2 emission — has been also evidenced in other works such as Boretti (2012a, b), Boretti and Watson (2012), Douglas (1992), Douglas and Peltier (2002), Fasullo et al. (2016), Jevrejeva et al. (2006), Holgate (2007), Houston and Dean (2011), Mörner 2010a, b, 2016), Mörner and Parker (2013), Scafetta (2014), Wenzel and Schröter (2010) and Wunsch et al. (2007) reporting on the recent lack of any detectable acceleration in the rate of sea - level rise.

Alarmingly, recent accelerated melting on the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets — which together contain enough ice to raise global sea level by 39 feet — means that seas could rise even faster than predicted.

Consider the different perception that results from «sea level is rising no more rapidly than it did in 1940» instead of «sea level rise has accelerated in recent decades,» or from «heat waves are no more common now than they were in 1900» versus «heat waves have become more frequent since 1960.»

«Second, in contrast to the previously reported slowing in the rate during the past two decades1, our corrected GMSL data set indicates an acceleration in sea - level rise (independent of the VLM used), which is of opposite sign to previous estimates and comparable to the accelerated loss of ice from Greenland and to recent projections, and larger than the twentieth - century acceleration.

And more recent estimates of the Antarctic mass balance contribution to sea level rise has the East Antarctica ice sheet gaining mass at a more accelerated pace for 2003 - 2013 than the mere +14 Gt per year identified by Shepherd et al. (2012) for 1992 - 2011.

Pine Island Glacier has thinned and accelerated over recent decades, significantly contributing to global sea - level rise.

Hemant Shah, president and CEO of Newark, Calif. - based RMS, identifies three troubling factors: the city is sinking due to thick sediments accumulating along the Atlantic Ocean's basin; accelerated climate change in making the sea level rise, and the level of Atlantic basin hurricane activity has increased in recent years.
