Posted Wed Apr 16 2008: from New Scientist: World sea levels seen rising 1.5m by 2100 http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1208373910 "Melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warming water could lift sea levels by as much as 1.5 metres (4.9 feet) by the end of this century, displacing tens of millions of people, new research showed on Tuesday. Presented at a European Geosciences Union conference, the research forecasts a rise in sea levels three times higher than that predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) last year.
