Abstract
Natural Hazards One of the most devastating effects of anthropogenic global warming will be sea-level rise. Sound climate policy depends on robust predictions of the degree of sea-level rise associated with various emission scenarios. However, over the course of centuries, sea level will respond to atmospheric radiative forcing quite differently than surface temperature, the main focus of current emissions limits. Li et al. developed integrated assessment models that suggest that a more effective way forward involves formally establishing acceptable targets for sea-level rise. According to this work, climate policies designed specifically to limit sea-level rise may be more sustainable and less expensive than policies driven by temperature targets alone. Sci. Adv. 10.1126/sciadv.aaw9490 (2019).
