The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is vulnerable to even moderate climate change and could collapse rapidly, pushing up sea levels around the world. A new study concludes that the global sea level rise (SLR) from the collapse of the WAIS will not be as high as predicted by previous studies, but still substantial at around 3.3 metres on average.

New Predictions For Sea Level Rise
July 29th, 2009 - Between 18 and 76 cm sea level rise predicted:
http://www.oceanleadership.org/2009/new-predictions-for-sea-level-rise/
The new model explains much of the variability observed over the past 22,000 years and, in response to the minimum (1.1 oC) and maximum (6.4 oC) warming projected for AD 2100 by the IPCC model, this new model predicts, respectively, 7 and 82 cm of sea-level rise by the end of this century. The IPCC model predicted a slightly narrower range of sea level rise – between 18 and 76 cm.

Experts struggle to explain high tides
http://www.charlotteobserver.com/local/story/852054.html
Excerpt:
Global warming isn't to blame, scientists say, as the rise was too sudden. Possibly, Szabados said, the explanation lies in something called the North Atlantic oscillation, a disturbance in the atmospheric pressure in the area of the North Atlantic Ocean between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High.
