New paper finds upper limit of sea level rise from Antarctic ice sheet is about 70% less than IPCC upper limit
'A paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Solid Earth finds 'The new upper bound [upper limit] to sea-level rise from the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) averaged over the time span 2003 - 2012 is about 0.16 ± 0.09 mm/yr.' At this rate, this is equivalent to an upper limit of about one-half inch sea level contribution by the year 2100, and is about 70% less than the IPCC AR4 upper limit estimate of sea level contribution from the Antarctic ice sheet of 0.21 ± 0.35 mm/yr [upper limit 0.56 mm/yr] from 1993-2003.'
