2016 Atmosphere Sea Level 
Union of Concerned Scientists
FEBRUARY 10, 2025
Sea levels are rising, and science shows they will continue to rise for generations due to heat-trapping emissions that have already been released. Understanding sea level rise as a long-term, multi-generational problem is essential to comprehending the scale of climate change and the need for bold action now.

Sea level rise is a big deal Use, abuse and misuse of the CMIP6 ensemble The radiative forcing bar chart has gone full circle Droughts and floods are complicated Don’t mention the hiatus. Sea Level Rise: The previous IPCC reports, notably AR4 and AR5 (to a lesser extent) , have had a hard time dealing with SLR.

I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

My fellowship is based on using data that trace heat-trapping emissions to major fossil fuel producers in order to understand how they have affected the climate, particularly global sea levels, and to aid efforts to hold these producers accountable. I’ve marked these important years with dotted lines in Figure 2.

The Cray-1, designed by Seymour Roger Cray, was tested at Los Alamos (perhaps a mistake given that its high altitude, 2300 m above sea level, makes it even more vulnerable to cosmic rays). When they strike the Earth’s atmosphere they create a secondary shower of particles, including neutrons, muons, pions and alpha particles.

It’s also causing marine heatwaves, storms, sea ice loss and sea level rise. Northern shrimp, found in the northeast, are highly vulnerable to climate change, according to a climate vulnerability assessment done by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
