Yo me pregunto qué dice al respecto el informe del IPCC de este año.
Ya me contesto yo solo. Del Summary for Policymakers del informe de 2007;
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global
average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea
level
#7 Vaya, no me ha dado tiempo a editarlo. Más adelante dice:
Rising sea level is consistent with warming (Figure SPM.1). Global average sea level has risen since 1961 at an
average rate of 1.8 [1.3 to 2.3]mm/yr and since 1993 at 3.1 [2.4 to 3.8]mm/yr, with contributions from thermal
expansion, melting glaciers and ice caps, and the polar ice sheets. Whether the faster rate for 1993 to 2003 reflects
decadal variation or an increase in the longer-term trend is unclear.
