NASA og vandtanden i verdenshavene juli 2015

The question scientists are grappling with is how quickly will seas rise?

"Given what we know now about how the ocean expands as it warms and how ice sheets and glaciers are adding water to the seas, it's pretty certain we are locked into at least 3 feet [0.9 meter] of sea level rise, and probably more," said Steve Nerem of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and lead of the Sea Level Change Team. "But we don't know whether it will happen within a century or somewhat longer."

Det er bemærkelsesværdigt, at man siger, at vandstanden vil vokse med 0.9 meter eller mere , men man ved ikke præcis, hvornår dette indtræffer.
