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.

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. While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure.

Think about what is involved – biological proxies from extinct species, plate tectonic movement, disappearance in subduction zones of vast amounts of ocean sediment, interpolating sparse data in space and time, degradation of samples over such vast amounts of time. All of which adds to the uncertainty. They get an ESS around 7.7±0.6ºC

As deeply troubling reports continue to come in about ocean waters hitting historic hot temperatures, sectors like global shipping are trying to understand the consequences of a warmer ocean and what can be done to stop the heating. Warmer water also expands and raises sea levels as well as holds less oxygen.
