Sea Level's Risen 3 Inches in the Past 20 Years
- "Global average sea level rose by about eight centimeters (three inches) in the past 20 years and the rate of rise has been increasing. The primary factors contributing to this rise are thermal expansion due to ocean warming and melting of land-based ice that increases the total amount of water in the ocean." - excerpt from the publication, 'Impacts of a Warming Arctic' by the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment at http://amap.no/acia/
