Scientists improve knowledge on sea level rise—and confirm it has been accelerating since 1960

From Phys.org

Sea level rise is a direct consequence of human-induced climate change: global warming. It is relentless and very hard to stop. It arises from human-induced warming and the consequential expansion of the ocean, plus the addition of more and more water from melting glaciers and ice sheets. It will continue long into the future.

An international team of climate scientists has fully accounted for what is driving global sea level rise across the past six decades—resolving a stubborn mystery that has clouded our understanding of one of climate change’s most consequential impacts.
