Scientists have reconstructed sea-level fluctuations over the last 520,000 years. Comparison of this record with data on global climate and CO2 levels from Antarctic ice cores suggests that even stabilization at today's carbon dioxide levels may commit us to much greater sea-level rise over the next couple of millennia than previously thought.
