You must try to make a rough estimate of what temperature increase would be needed for the sea level to rise by 10 cm due to volume expansion. Assume for this that 2/3 parts of the earth's surface are covered by water, and that the water temperature is affected by the temperature rise of the air up to 200 m below sea level. (Sea water = 21510-61/°C)
