Hi, here is a recent paper from Jim Hansen,including some figures I've read before, which stunned me:
"In the early Pliocene global temperature was no more than 1-2°C warmer than today, yet sea level was 15-25 meters (50-80 feet) higher." best wishes, Emily. *Paleoclimate Implications: Accepted Paper and 'Popular Science'* "Paleoclimate Implications for Human-Made Climate Change" has been reviewed, revised in response to the referee's suggestions, and accepted for publication in "Climate Change at the Eve of the Second Decade of the Century: Inferences from Paleoclimate and Regional Aspects: Proceedings of Milutin Milankovitch 130th Anniversary Symposium" (Eds. A. Berger, F. Mesinger and D Šijački), Springer. This final version has also been published in arXiv:1105.0968v3 [physics.ao-ph] <http://columbia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ebaeb14fdbf5dc65289113c1&id=fbefcc8464&e=60a7483168> A__'popular science' summary <http://columbia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0ebaeb14fdbf5dc65289113c1&id=d3b93e0894&e=60a7483168> of the paper, intended for lay audience, is available.
