Question about climate change? I keep having more questions about climate change. I%26#039;m currently watching some podcasts of climate change from Arizona State University. In his lecture about what to expect in the future, Dr. Overpeck stated that scientists estimate sea levels will only rise about 3 ft. per century.

These lectures are already a couple years old, but I was wondering if this was still the scientific consensus. Has there been new evidence suggested that this sea level rise could happen quicker?

3 ft per century would still be considered reasonable by most scientists. Some estimate less, some estimate more. One of the big unknowns is how rapidly the large land-based ice sheets (e.g. Greenland) will melt. 67% 2 Votes

• Yes, scientists still do global warming studies. But since celebrities have become so %26quot;green%26quot; the scienctists havn%26#039;t really been talked about other than science magazines.
  
  I%26#039;m not sure about the sea levels, but I know that in the next 100 years the global climate is supposed to rise another 7 degrees. Which leads to the sea level rising. 0% 0 Votes
• the scientists realized how dumb it sounds so they just let celebrities talk about it... no one expects them to be smart.
  
  I often wondered why the piers and surf walls in new york haven%26#039;t disappeared under the 12 feet of water Al Gore said we caused over the last 50 years. Those ports are 300 years old and haven%26#039;t been covered in water yet - those colonists must have known we would melt the ice caps. 0% 0 Votes
