The link to global warming has been both intuitive and evident. Temperatures rise, and satellites watch glaciers and ice sheets shrink; networks of robotic buoys sample ocean waters as they heat and expand. We have also known that coastal floods are increasing. The link to sea level rise is clear. A higher starting level means that the...
