How accurate are simulations predicting the rise of water in oceans due to climate change?
Question Date: 2021-01-27
Answer 1:

Here is a great answer for your question.


Answer 2:

From this site:

"Sea level rise is an inevitable consequence of a warming climate. But can we predict how much and how fast sea levels will rise?"

Figure 2 shows the predicted sea level rise, based on 3 different predictions for temperature rise. Looking at the gray area in the graph, you can see that the sea level is predicted to rise somewhere between 60 and 200 cm by 2100. There's a later graph that shows predictions to 2300.
