- According to State of the Climate 2013, global average sea level 2013 was 1.5 inches (38 mm) above the 1993-2010 average, the highest yearly average in the satellite record (since 1993), and sea level continued rising at a rate of one-eighth of an inch (3.2 mm) per year.atellite altimeter data gathered from 1993 to 2003 indicate that the rate of global average sea level rise increased to 3.1 mm per year, or about one and a quarter inches per decade.

Scientific opinion on climate change Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO 2).lobal warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures.

Effects of Global Warming Here is an in-depth look at the changes wrought by global warming. Increase in average temperatures and temperature extremes. One of the most immediate and obvious effects of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

- Sea level rise is one of several lines of evidence that support the view that the global climate has recently warmed. In 2014 the USGCRP National Climate Assessment projected that by the year 2100, the average sea level rise will have been between one and four feet (300mm-1200mm) since the date of the 2014 assessment. Current rates of sea level rise have roughly doubled since the pre 1992 rates of sea level rise of the 20th century.

- Complete melting of these ice sheets could lead to a sea-level rise of about 80 meters, whereas melting of all other glaciers could lead to a sea-level rise of only one-half meter.limate-related sea-level changes of the last century are very minor compared with the large changes in sea level that occur as climate oscillates between the cold and warm intervals that are part of the Earth’s natural cycle of long-term climate change.

Natural and Man-Made Causes of Global Warming Global warming is the increase in the earth’s average temperature due to release of several greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by humans. Global warming is affecting many parts of the world. Due to global warming, the glaciers are melting which is causing the rise in the sea level.When the level of the sea rises, it causes danger to the people living in the low lying areas. When the level of the sea rises, it covers the plants and causes some of them to die.lobal warming is affecting many parts of the world.

Effects of Global Warming Sea level isn't the only thing changing for the oceans due to global warming. As levels of CO 2 increase, the oceans absorb some of that gas, which increases the acidity of seawater. Werne explains it this way: When you dissolved CO 2 in water, you get carbonic acid.

Global warming Sea level rise, has been estimated to be on average +2.6 mm and +2.9 mm per year ± 0.4 mm since 1993. Additionally, sea level rise has accelerated in recent years. Over the 21st century, the IPCC projects for a high emissions scenario, that global mean sea level could rise by 52–98 cm.nticipated effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels, changing precipitation, and expansion of deserts in the subtropics. Warming is expected to be greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice.

- There are two major effects of global warming: 1  Increase of temperature on the earth by about 3° to 5° C (5.4° to 9° Fahrenheit) by the year 2100. 2  Rise of sea levels by at least 25 meters (82 feet) by the year 2100.

- Melting glaciers and ice caps will likely cause sea levels to rise, which would make coastal flooding more severe when a storm comes ashore. In their 2001 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that global warming should cause sea levels to rise 0.11 to 0.77 meters (0.36 to 2.5 feet) by 2100.lobal warming could affect storm formation by decreasing the temperature difference between the poles and the equator. That temperature difference fuels the mid-latitude storms affect the Earth’s most populated regions.

Global warming and climate change By the end of the 21st century, however, global warming is likely to cause an increase in Earth's temperature of around 2–5 degrees Celsius. There is a 75 percent chance of a 2–3 degree warming and a 50 percent chance of a 5 degree warming, and scientists agree that the warming is most likely to be around 3 degrees.
