The "consensus" or at least the IPCC says that the worst case scenario for sea level rise is 59cm by 2100 but that was assuming a 6.4 degree temperature rise. The later revisions have brought this temperature ise down by half, at worst. So the sea level rise might be at worst about the mid 30's cm rise. Last centuary the sea rose by 18cm. So this centuary it looks like it might be twice as bad. So expect twice as many cities to disapear below the waves as last centuary. Unless of course we build some sea defences or what ever. |

So what you (and they) are saying is that the IPCC@s 4th report was drivel with no ability to add up the amount of ice vunerable to melting by simply taking the perminent ice line now and adjusting for a temperature increase and then working out how much ice was thus vunerable. And you want me to believe that there are other bodies which are much better at this than the IPCC. And despite the fact that it's fairly obvious just from looking at a map that there just isn't much land ice meltable by a moderate temperature rise we are all doomed by the small sea level rise predicted by some doom mongers which will be impossible to cope with despite the fact that sea defences for anywhere valuable are easy and cheap. That's cheap compaired to the cost of trafic lights for the protected land. Ummm... no I'm not scared. Even if it's 2m, which it is not, it's just not a significant threat. Abandoning our wonderful wealth producing industry is a major worry though. |

The statement that twice as many cities may disappear beneath the waves this century as last, could easily come true - especially since no cities disappeared last century (twice zero is still zero). That said, the IPCC values do include a safety net, and are somewhat on the high side. According to the Jason satellite data, the current rate of increase has been 2.3 mm/year. This is roughly equivalent to the 20th average. The IPCC used the slightly larger increase observed during the 1990s (when global temperatures were still rising), and assumed that rate would continue. Many factors will contribute to the total rise this century; glacial melt (alpine glaciers have regained some of their losses, Greenland has exhibited larger melt, Antarctica is still neutral), dams and aquifer pumping (quite variable), and changes in water temperature and ocean currents (this can vary the amount of precipitation removed from the oceans and dumped on the land). If the current rate were to continue, it would amount to 20-25 cm by 2100 - not exactly an insurmountable value for shoreline concerns. |

Is no one paying attention...The IPCC is a bunch of mealy mouth political num nuts. There are at least 15 to 20 items not considered by the IPCC report, some because they did not exist when the report was developed and some out of outright stupidity. Like the Arctic ice loss & heat absorption in the Arctic..add 25% to radiative forcing equivalents. Take a look at the Sat. photos of the TG and PIG Glaciers in Antarctica.. in particular look at the historical loss of ice since the early 70s. You'll find Sat. pic's that show 7/8 of these glaciers are gone. Seven Ice shelves are gone or almost gone. The Larson A&B ice shelves broke up & melted in 36 days....that's a wow For the last 15yrs 85to90% of all radiative forcing heat/energy...whatever, is being absorbed by the worlds oceans. Last year 97% of Greenland show moderate to extreme ice melt. El nino is coming..... It's not air temperatures that's gonna raise sea levels .. it water. Right now .. today, the Pine Island Glacier is loosing 70billion oz per day. When the TG&PIG goes the WAIS will go in less than three years. That event will put DC&NY and 1/3 of Flordia under water. It's coming and there ain't a damn thing anyone can do to stop it. |

^ 70 Billion ounces!! Hey when the number you want to be big is tiny just change the units till it sound big!! How big is it in cubic kilometers per year? How big is the total glacier? What does that mean when you divide it by the surface area of the world's oceans? The answer is a figure so tiny you will be utterly unable to measure it. Do you have something that the IPCC has not seen? |

I normally post of scientific forums, I avoid forums where the denier camp is well entrenched because I will not try to present the facts with folks who have a different agenda. I posted here because folks here were trying to understand sea level rise and not arguing about whether or not it is going to happen. Within my post I listed the single most important factor the IPCC left out. That was the loss of arctic ice. So, not only do you NOT have millions of sq miles reflecting sun light(energy) back into space you have millions of sq. miles collecting solar radiation..add 25% to the equation. There are at least 15 other items the IPCC left out of their report, if you expect me to compile a list/w references(scientific reviewed papers), you must do your part. Look at the damn satellite pic's. Look at the historical loss of ice shelves in Antarctica. The reasoning is, it does not matter so far as sea level goes if we loose the arctic ice, or the ice shelves or the glacier tongues that spread out into the Antarctica Oceans....because they sit on the water, they displace water where they sit, so it does not matter as far as Sea level goes if they melt. If you want another number so far as ice loss in volume instead of pints, the number in the IPCC report which is fairly accurate, and is listed in cubic miles, and is for the whole of Antarctica. Measurements exhibited by the Grace Sat. show the Ice loss from Western side of Antarctica are profound, the Eastern side shows some ice loss, which is very disturbing, but not so much as the western side. John Mercer a brilliant Glaciologist predicted the how and why of this in 1968, we should have listened to him. The Thwaits(tg) and Pine Island Glacier(pig) sit west of the WAIS (western antarctic ice sheet) this ice sheet sits BELOW sea level. These Glaciers provide a buttressing effect, holding the wais back from sliding into the Amundsen Sea(penetrating radar provides us with the information that the wais sits on a slope going downwards to the Amundsen Sea). They also protect the wais from the on-slot of westerly gales that will eventually spread warm water under the wais. When that happens the wais will break up, melt and/or slide into the ocean. Raising sea levels 12 to 15 ft along the east&west coast of n. America. Take a look at whats happening...2013, extreme droughts in the western and eastern northern hemisphere. Changing rainfall patterns think ( Colorado ). Abnormal cold weather anomalies...think eastern sea board usa. War in Syria..agw, Arab spring..agw and list goes on. This mornings headlines in the local paper here in NJ along the coast...A Sea Level Rise Of 31 inches By 2050....their wrong by 9 to 12 ft. When the tg&pig glaciers go, it will open a rift 145 klong, exposing the underside of the wais to warm water. El-Nino is Coming. Last....There are engineering solutions that will protect the wais for at least another 20-30 years. But who is going to spend to 10 to 20 billion dollars to build these defenses. Certainly not the fossil fuel industry, nor the governments or anyone .. everyone who has that kind of money is simply to greedy. My apologizes to the children...my heart breaks for them...they will never know the life we have had...the full of grace and light will never fill their hearts as they struggle for their next meal of filthy left overs. |

While I do not have time to do any of this findings justice; nevertheless, I will say that to whatever RCP scenario that your value system allows you to accept as realistic, you need to add the following factors that were left out of AR5 (and AVOID) projections: (a) Sherwood et al (2014) and Fasullo & Trenberth (2012) show that the most likely value for ECS is about 4.5 degrees C instead of the assumed mean value of 3 degrees C; therefore, you should multiply the old projections by a factor of about 1.5, due to the low amount of cloud cover near the equator. (b) Pistone et al. (2014) shows that the decrease in Arctic albedo (including land snow, sea ice and black carbon effects) beyond that previously assumed results in additional radiative forcing equal to ¼ of the CO₂ in the atmosphere. (c) Schuur & Abbott (2011) shows that the permafrost emits about 2% of its carbon emissions as methane instead of as CO₂ (as assumed by AVOID), and as over a one hundred year period, methane has a global warming potential at least 35 times that of CO₂, this means at least a 70% error in the carbon emissions from the permafrost degradation. See also Monday et al. (2014) and Isaksen et al. (2011). (d) Cowtan & Way (2013); England et al. (2014); Santer et al (2014); and Rosenfeld (2014); all provide solid evidence that the current mean global temperature has been masked by such causes as: limited data; the negative phase of the PDO cycle; volcanoes, and aerosols, respectively. Furthermore, once corrections are applied to the GCM projections to account for these masking mechanisms, one will find that the ECS is actually higher than previously assumed, which supports my points (a), (b) and (c). (e) Hansen et al. (2013) and Previdi (2013) show that the inclusion of slow-response feedback mechanisms can cause Earth Systems Sensitivity to be as high as 6 degrees C (while work such as Pistone et al. (2014) shows that the "slow response" feedback mechanisms are occurring very quickly). I do not have time to comment on the other excellent references cited below, but I would also like to say many negative feedback mechanisms are shrinking quickly (such as the absorption of CO₂ by plankton, etc.), so that it is not only positive feedback mechanisms that we need to be realistic about.

The change of albedo is taken into account in the IPCC's models I believe. You have a figure of 25%. Of what? The change in absorption of sunlight and heat for open sea to ice is several factors. However, the Arctic sea ic has made a come back and as you say it does not matter for the change in sea level. I have seen lots of evidence that Antarctica is in fact gaining ice. The idea of lots of it sitting on downward slopes is correct, but those slopes are of the order of losing 300m over 200Km. The Antarctic peninsular is different but does not have much ice on it. At the point where you started rambling on about Syria and the Arab Spring you made me aware that you are mad. Your opinions are based on a "we're all doomed wish" not science. |

Was working for Oceaneering as a diver on oil rigs years ago when miraculously BP brought up an arrowhead in pipe string from the North Sea. Quick ROV works showed signs of occupation although excavation was not required (Thatcher, eighties, etc.). So sea levels have change incredibly in the past much more than the Berhing Sea Land Bridge or anything like that. So is what appears to be happening caused by man or nature? I wish I knew a conclusive answer. Happy to hear opinions on both sides though.

If you check out tide gauges (many go back 150yrs) you will find that even calibrated by isostatic rebound, the rise is on the order of 1.8mm per year, not the mythical 3.2mm from satellite readings (which are calibrated from selected tide gauges) and actually sea level rise has slowed from 2004. |

Personally, I feel this may be one of the most serious effects of global warming. Many people are located near the oceans, and if sea levels begin to rise it will not take much before it poses a threat. |

The mechanism of the formation of floods. The waters of the lakes, seas and oceans of the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, and the waters of the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise, forming cyclonic gyres. The main cause of rotation of gyres are local winds, flowing into the seas and oceans of the river and the deflecting force of Coriolis. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre And the higher the speed of the winds, the higher the rotational speed of the gyres and, as a result, the higher the centrifugal force of the gyres, due to which the water level of the seas and oceans rises. And the lower the rotational speed of the gyres, the lower the level of water, seas and oceans. https://youtu.be/ihM1I5r_MUg The speed of currents along the perimeter of the seas and oceans is not the same everywhere and depends on the depth of the coast. In the shallow part of the seas and oceans, the flow moves fast, and in the deep water part of the seas and oceans, the flow moves slowly .. Seasonal increase in the water level is observed not along the entire coast of the seas and oceans, but only on those coasts where a high angular velocity of currents and, as a result, a high centrifugal force of water. (Centrifugal force F = mv2 / r). On straight coasts where currents do not have an angular velocity, the water level does not rise. The waters of the Gulf of Finland rotate counterclockwise, forming a cycle in the form of an ellipse. And when seasonal storm winds spin the cycle up to 5 km / h, the centrifugal force of the cycle increases, so that on the east coast of the Gulf of Finland the water level rises to 30 cm. A similar pattern of seasonal increase in water levels is observed in all lakes, seas and oceans. The average depth of the Gulf of Finland is about 50 meters, on the east coast is about 5 meters, in the west of the bay it is about 100 meters, for this reason the linear and angular velocity of the currents on the east coast of the Gulf of Finland are much higher current velocity). Flooding in St. Petersburg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floods_in_Saint_Petersburg In the Gulf of Finland, the seasonal increase in the water level has two peaks: in August – September and in December – January and in time they coincide with the season of storm winds. The speed of the current in the Gulf of Finland reaches from 2 to 17 km / hour, and the maximum speed of the current on Earth reaches 30 km / hour, the wind speed is more than 100 km / hour. http://goo.gl/eYVTo6 http://tapemark.narod.ru/more/09.html The waters of the North Sea rotate counterclockwise, forming a huge circulation. And when seasonal storm winds spin the circulation (up to 20 km / h on the southern coast), the centrifugal rotation force rises, making the level on the southern coast of the North Sea up to 5 meters. (Storm surge 2.5 meters, centrifugal surge 2.5 meters). North Sea Flood 1953. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea_flood_of_1953 https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:North_Sea_Currents.svg The waters of the Caspian Sea rotate counterclockwise, forming a circulation in the form of an ellipse. And when the flood river Volga spins the cycle, the centrifugal force of the cycle increases, so that on the northern coast of the Caspian Sea the water level rises to 1 meter. The average depth of the Caspian Sea is about 200 meters, on the north coast about 5 meters, on the south coast - about 500m. Due to this, in the north of the Caspian the speed of the current increases from 1 to 10 km / h. In the Caspian Sea, the peak of the seasonal water level increase is observed in June-August and coincides in time with the flood of the Volga River. During a drought over the Volga River basin, the level of the Caspian Sea does not rise. http://tapemark.narod.ru/more/06.png https://bigenc.ru/geography/text/2050560 In the Bay of Bengal in the season of monsoon winds, the speed of the cycle increases to 10 km / h, so that the seasonal increase in water levels reaches 1.2 meters. Bay of Bengal flood 1970. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Bhola_cyclone Seasonal increase in the level of the Black Sea (up to 40 cm) is most pronounced in the southeastern part of the sea, where in summer the angular velocity of the currents reaches its maximum value. http://tapemark.narod.ru/more/07.html The assumption that the cause of the seasonal rise in the water level may be the pressure of the atmosphere, the flow of the rivers, the temperature difference and the salinity of the waters do not hold water, these factors may raise the water level by a few cm, but no more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_cycle_of_sea_level_height https://research.csiro.au/slrwavescoast/sea-level/sea-level-change/ http://www.okeanavt.ru/tainiokeana/1066mifosrednemurovne.html The presented theory can be easily verified by relating the velocity of the currents to the level of the seas and oceans. (Based on a map of depths and currents, seas and oceans). Real-time sea current speed http://portal.esimo.ru/portal https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/sat_ocean.html If during the flood in St. Petersburg, to direct the flow of the Neva River against the flow of waters of the Gulf of Finland, by building canals and floodgates, you can significantly reduce the increase in water levels on the east coast of the Gulf of Finland. |

How can winds outdoors, effect the direction water rotates when you flush the toilet? Thing about floodgates, canals, flood plains, is that they need to be maintained, every year. Lot of places put it off, until they see signs that they aren't working so well, which is usually during a stronger than usual storm. Had they kept up on the annual maintenance, they wouldn't have had the severe flooding problem. Here in Florida, we know we get a lot of rain at times, hurricanes are always possible, so the maintenance gets done, no putting it off, until after. |

Into the Night wrote:HarveyH55 wrote: Yes, we do make use of those devices. Storm water is usually directed into the lakes, or canals linked to the lakes, which eventually make it out to sea. Floodgates regulate water levels in the lakes. Works out pretty good most of the time, and most places are able to keep their canals, ditches, and storm drains cleared of overgrowth and debris. Much of the dry land isn't too many feet above the water level anyway, doesn't take long to saturate the sandy soil. We do get some flooding, during long periods of daily heavy rain, and they bring in pumps to help some. There are places with permanently installed pumps, which don't help much, when the power goes out during extreme weather. Systems fail occasionally, but we don't often get major flooding, like some of the places have had up north of here, past couple of years. We get a lot rain every year, and are basically flat, low elevation, so know it's important to deal with storm water. The northern states, only have to deal with heavy storm water occasionally, sometimes go years without a major problem. They can afford to gamble on how much maintenance they want to pay for. You don't always win, when you play such games, but fortunately, there is federal money there, to cover the losses. |
