Your pamphlet suggests that rising sea level “is the most iconic fear aroused by global warming”, but then indicates that “the oceans are set to rise at a rate similar to the average of the last 18,000 years”. In fact, the Fourth Assessment Report states: “Global sea level rose by about 120 m during ...
