%X The values of present to future rates in sea level
changes vary in an almost chaotic way. In view of the urgent need to handle
this question in a constructive way, we must anchor the issue in observational
facts, physical laws and long-term scientific experience. Doing so, we can put
a solid ultimate frame of any possible rise in sea level in the next centuries:
viz. 10.0 mm/yr or 1.0 m per century. If this is the ultimate possible rate,
the expected rate in the 21st century must be far less. The author¡¯s
proposition is +5 cm ¡À 15 cm by year 2100.
