Only during the short lag between onset of global temperature change and sea level response can warm-adapted species migrate from the equator toward higher latitudes.

只有在全球气温变化开始和海平面反应之间的短暂滞后期间，适应气候变化的物种才能从赤道向高纬度地区迁移。

Fossils of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well.

树木的化石告诉我们气温大大地降低了，海平面也降低了。

We know the exact rate at which seawater expands with temperature, and the expected increase in sea level calculated from the observed increase in temperature matches the observed rate of increase of sea level.

FORBES: What If Mike Bloomberg Is Right And A Climate Change Nightmare Is Here?

IPCC's worst-case scenario, which is about a 7 degree Fahrenheit rise in temperature, shows a global sea level gain of 10 to 23 inches.

Such increased summer melting has an immediate local temperature effect, and it also will affect sea level.
