• Resumen

  • LePage examines how much sea level rise is already unavoidable, or soon will be. Much uncertainty still surrounds the pace of future rises, with estimates for a 5-meter rise ranging from a couple of centuries--possibly even less--to a couple of millennia. But there is hardly any doubt that this rise is inevitable. People already know that they are heading for a rise of at least 1 meter by 2100. The sea will then continue to climb for many centuries as the planet warms.
