According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the global average temperature may rise by as much as 2.0 °C by 2100. Predict the average rise in sea level due to thermal expansion of sea water based on temperature rises of 1.0 °C, 2.0 °C, and 3.5 °C, given that the volume of the Earth’s oceans is 1.37 × 109km3and their surface area is 361 × 106km2; state the approximations which go into your estimates.
