Global Warming`s Increasingly Visible Impacts
... Sea-level rise is one of the most certain impacts of global warming. During the 20th century, sea levels around the world rose by an average of 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm), ten times the average rate over the last 3,000 years. That rise is projected to continue or accelerate further, with possible c ...

Effects of global warming on oceans
Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents, seawater, sea surface temperatures, tides, the sea floor, weather, and trigger several changes in ocean bio-geochemistry; all of these affect the functioning of a society.
