Peter GleickThe rate of sea-level rise over the last decade is more than double the rate from 1993-2002. More evidence that climate change is accelerating.

This year it is El Nino. Hotter water and air
ex or current IDF unwelcome@petergleick but it isn’t uniform across the world and some places are facing far higher rises than others
John@petergleick people aren't that bright.
@petergleick round about a 45% increase per decade.
Extrapolated from these past findings:
2032: 6.7mm/yr 79mm rise
2042: 9.7mm/yr 115mm
2052: 14mm/yr 167mm
2062: 20mm/yr 240mm
2072: 29.6mm/yr 362mm
2082: 42.9mm/yr 525mm
2092: 62.2mm/yr 760mm
2102: 90mm/yr 1100mm
Total 2.75m sea level rise over the next 80 years.
This napkin math is a little different from the IPCCs anticipated 30cm by 2100.
Based on this extrapolated exponential growth, I'd expect over a foot of sea level rise before 2060

@petergleick Ok, I guess this is not news to anybody.
