Forecast for big sea level rise
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website, Vienna

Sea levels could rise by up to one-and-a-half metres
by the end of this century, according to a new
scientific analysis.

This is substantially more than the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) forecast in last year's
landmark assessment of climate science.

Sea level rise of this magnitude would have major
impacts on low-lying countries such as Bangladesh.

The findings were presented at a major science
conference in Vienna.

The research group is not the first to suggest that
the IPCC's forecast of an average rise in global sea
levels of 28-43cm by 2100 is too conservative.

2. The ice cube in the glass theory

That would explain how a melting glacier won't make the oceans rise an inch - at least in theory; the mass of the frozen water is identical to the same quantity of water in its liquid state.

But water on top of land that melts into the ocean -- is it not Antarctica that is frozen water on top of land, dripping into the ocean?

Indeed, as it's been said Antarctica's ice is composed of fresh water, can it not be harvested and transported, rather than melting into salt water? Sounds a win-win situation if you ask me...

4. 2012

Rising Sea levels is the least thing to be worrying about; come 2012(if CO2 levels are not down below 'PH' threshold), this planet is going to be destroyed/wiped out.

*I know no one believes me, but that is the truth(and right now our CO2 levels are at Tipping Point- hence 'PH' here is going to effect the Cellestial Cycle that's coming-- 'Receptor Blockade' will occur, just like in our own 'mind-body' connection).
