In C3 species at low CO2 concentration, photosynthesis is limited by Rubisco activity, which shows little response to temperature because effects on maximum capacity and the Michaelis-Menten constant for CO2 largely cancel each other out (Kirschbaum and Farquhar 1984).

The end of the Pacific? Effects of sea level rise on Pacific Island
... There is evidence that global sea level began rising at the end of the Little Ice Age about 200 years ago (Jevrejeva et al., 2008) and has continued since, something established independently for the Pacific region (Nunn, 2007a). While sea level has not risen monotonically within this period, it is ...
