    Three recent articles you may be interested in on sea level rise:

    1. Sea level rise accelerating and current model projections being exceeded
    https://www.rochesterfirst.com/news/scientists-warn-sea-level-rise-from-climate-change-could-exceed-high-end-projections/
    2. Measured ice loss has also accelerated, consistent with the measured acceleration in sea level rise.
    https://insideclimatenews.org/news/25012021/global-ice-loss-sea-level-rise/
    3. The first article also discusses the likelihood that current modelling under-estimates future sea level rise. And discusses an eventual 24 feet or more of sea level rise being consistent with relevant historical sea level and temperature changes.
    As a consequence scientists suggest 5 to 10 feet of sea level rise is possible by 2100.
    3. This article repeats the findings of 2. above, but also discusses a study of warm ocean undercutting of glaciers that suggests at least a doubling of many current estimates for sea level rise.
