However, on the level of basic physical reasoning, it is of course a no-brainer that warming will cause land-ice to melt (and melt faster as it gets hotter) and ocean waters to expand, so sea-level rise is the inevitable result.

As the Earth’s air and oceans warm, the ice sheet is starting to melt at an ever-faster rate.

These are called marine basins.
