Since 1850, global sea levels have risen by approximately 20 to 25 centimeters (about 8 to 10 inches). This increase is primarily due to thermal expansion of seawater as it warms and the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets. The rate of sea-level rise has accelerated in recent decades, with current estimates suggesting an increase of about 3.3 millimeters per year. This trend poses significant risks to coastal communities and ecosystems.

How much have sea levels risen in the past 100 years due to the current global warming trend?
Over the past 100 years, sea levels have risen by approximately 15 to 20 centimeters (about 6 to 8 inches) due to global warming. This increase is primarily attributed to thermal expansion of seawater and the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets. The rate of sea level rise has accelerated in recent decades, reflecting the ongoing impacts of climate change. Projections suggest that this trend is likely to continue, with significant implications for coastal communities.
Has there been CO2 in the atmosphere forever?
Yes, many times in the past we have seen higher levels then today. Since 1850 we have been on a slightly upward trend in CO2 levels. This appears to be a normal reaction to the warming climate which began 10,200 years ago. Whenever we see a rise in temperature for a long period of time, we see that CO2 follows (never leads) the trend. No CO2 in the atmosphere would kill off almost all plant life and with it, all animal life. CO2 levels may have change the past 150 years by as much as 0.008% (in total concentrations in our atmosphere 300 ppm to 380 ppm).
How much did sea level rise in the last 100 years?
In the last 100 years, global sea levels have risen approximately 15 to 20 centimeters (about 6 to 8 inches). This increase is primarily attributed to climate change, with factors such as the melting of glaciers and ice sheets, as well as the thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. Projections suggest that sea levels will continue to rise in the coming decades, potentially leading to significant impacts on coastal communities.
How much have sea levels risen since 1992?
Sea levels have risen approximately 3.6 inches (9.1 cm) globally since 1992, as measured by satellite data. This rise is primarily due to the melting of glaciers and ice caps and the thermal expansion of seawater caused by global warming.
How much has the average temperature risen in the greenhouse effect?
0.8 degrees Celsius, since 1850. 1850 was a known low temp referred to as the mini ice age. The total warming started roughly 10,200 years ago and is, in total, about 11 degrees C. 0.6 of the current warming occurred before World War 2. The temperature dropped for a few decades in the 1970's despite increasing use of fuel. 2010 tied with 2005 as the warmest years on record. The ten hottest years have all happened since 1998.
