Although initially appealing, the hypothesis of a simple climatic change related to sea levels is insufficient to explain all the data.

与海平面相关的简单气候变化假说虽然起初很吸引人，却不足以解释所有的数据。

The hypothesis is not undermined by observations that sea levels are falling relative to the Scandinavian coast by four millimeters a year.

尽管海平面被观测到相对斯堪的纳维亚海岸每年下降4毫米，这一假设并没有受到破坏。

But Banjul, capital of Gambia in West Africa, is likely to sink entirely into the ocean due to a combination of erosion and rising sea levels, according to a 2002 World Bank discussion paper on cities and climate change.

If the climate stabilises soon, the ice cap might resettle at a slightly lower mass than it has now, raising sea levels by only a few centimetres.
