Today the British Government release a report on the economic consequences of global warming. The Stern Review Report on the Economics of Climate Change offers a stark picture of how the changing climate will cost the world's nations trillions of Euros, a cost borne disproportionately by lesser developed nations. On the topic of the science of climate change and sea level rise, the Report offers the following: "As global temperatures continue to rise, so do the risks of additional sea level contributions from large-scale melting or collapse of ice sheets. If the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets began to melt irreversibly, the world would be committed to substantial increases in sea level in the range 5 – 12 m over a timescale of centuries to millennia" (p. 16).
