English:
This graph shows projections of global mean
sea level rise
(SLR) by Parris
et al.
(2012)
[1]
In 2100, global mean
sea level
is projected to rise by 0.2-2.0 m (0.7-6.6 ft), relative to mean sea level in 1992:
Scenario / SLR by 2100 (m) / SLR by 2100 (ft)
Note: projections are relative to mean sea level in 1992. SLR increases smoothly over the 21st century, with a slight acceleration over time. In 2050, SLR projections approximately range between 0.1-0.62 m (0.3-2.0 ft). Parris et al. (2012) [2] do not assign probabilities to these scenarios . Therefore, none of these scenarios should be interpreted as a best-estimate of future SLR. Notes
