g14.    How can global warming affect sea levels?

An average increase of 3^oC in atmospheric temperature would cause an increase in global sea levels of 0.2 to 1.5 meters. A 1-meter rise in sea level would cause flooded coastal wetlands including barrier islands; loss of marshes, the nursery of most species of edible seafood; greatly accelerated costal erosion; and loss of coral reefs.
