 It depends...  How much warming and what feedbacks?  Warming projections:  Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change  2.7 to 3.3 K to 2100  Feedbacks are studied with “General Circulation Models”

 Thermal expansion contributes major sea level increase, but not as much as adding freshwater  Glacial melt could contribute 130 – 160 mm increase  Antarctic ice cap melting offset by increased precipitation  Redistribution of Antarctic sea ice (melting) increases equatorial & northern sea level through gravity effect
