Now everyone who follows climate science a bit, would probably agree that next to climate sensitivity the other important field where research suggests we may need to think in slightly different numbers than we used to is sea level rise.

The data used in a paper published by Jevrejeva et al (2006) in the JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH indicates that the rate of sea level rise from the mid 19th century until the end of the 20th century was constant.

«Many of the events that made 2012 such an interesting year are part of the long - term trends we see in a changing and varying climate — carbon levels are climbing, sea levels are rising, Arctic sea ice is melting, and our planet as a whole is becoming a warmer place,» said Acting NOAA Administrator Kathryn D. Sullivan, Ph.D. «This annual report is well - researched, well - respected, and well - used; it is a superb example of the timely, actionable climate information that people need from NOAA to help prepare for extremes in our ever - changing environment.»
