But in an invisible shadow process, our long-term sea level rise commitment or "lock-in" — the sea level rise we don't see now, but which carbon emissions and warming have locked in for later years — is growing 10 times faster, and this growth rate is accelerating.
All of this has major implications for the global sea-level-rise commitment, the study finds.
