In this article, two scientists unpack some of the reasons why projecting the speed and scale of future sea level rise is difficult.
The planet has always changed. Ice ages came and went, oceans rose and fell, climates shifted over geological timescales. That's the story we've told ourselves for comfort, and it's technically true.
