16. One of the interpretations that warming temperatures of modern climate change is will cause glacial ice to melt, and in turn this will cause sea levels to rise. Below is a plot of sea level rise during the deglaciation from the last glacial maximum. This was caused by the melting of the ice sheets that covered much of northern North America, Europe.
