A) Ocean levels have risen 15-20cm over the past century.

B) As our climate warms, ocean temperatures rise.

C) In previous interglacial periods, polar ice was at least partially
   melted, and climate conditions were similar to current conditions on Earth.

D) Past climate conditions and sea levels are disputed.

E) By 2100, ocean levels are expected to rise another 13-94 cm (Haug 1998).

F) Microfossil and isotopic data from marine sediments of the Cariaco
   Basin support the interpretation that global sea level was 10 to 20m
   higher than today during marine isotope stage 11 (Poore and Dowsett, 2001).

G) Water expands at higher temperatures, leading to sea level rise.

H) Polar ice melt increases temperature rise on Earth; while ice reflects
   sunlight, oceans absorb heat and light.

I) Global warming has been a major concern over the past decades.

J) Glacial-interglacial cycles are affected by variations in the Earth's orbit.

K) It has been suggested that, in some interglacial periods, ocean levels
   were more than 20m higher than now (Haug 1998).

L) As temperatures rise, glaciers and ice sheets melt.

M) Temperature rise has been accelerated by human activity.
