Actual Effects Of Man Made Climate Change
≈ ±0.5 °C
Additional contributions from glaciersand ice sheet contributions to future sea level rise are uncertain butmay equal or exceed several meters over the next millennium or longer.
Complete losses of glaciers and small ice caps have the potential to raise future sealevel by ≈0.2–0.7 m
The severity of damaging human-induced climate change dependsnot only on the magnitude of the change but also on the potentialfor irreversibility. This paper shows that the climate change thattakes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration islargely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop. Followingcessation of emissions, removal of atmospheric carbon dioxidedecreases radiative forcing, but is largely compensated by slowerloss of heat to the ocean, so that atmospheric temperatures do notdrop significantly for at least 1,000 years.
