English:
This image shows
sea level rise
projections for the 21st century, relative to the year 2000. Data are taken from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC
AR4
Synthesis Report, 2007),
US National Research Council
(US NRC, 2012) and Martin Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009). The IPCC (2007)
estimates
do not include all of the possible contributions from
ice sheets
(US NRC, 2012, pp.84-85). According to US NRC (2012, p.88), "the IPCC (2007) projections are likely underestimates because they do not account fully for
cryospheric
processes". Projections for IPCC (2007) are given for the year 2100 only.
Projections Projections are given below in centimetres (cm). Abbreviations: N = US NRC (2012), E = Vermeer and Rahmstorf (2009), and I = IPCC (2007).
Year 2030:

US NRC (2012) explain how these projections were made. References
