How well do state-of-the-art climate models simulate sea level?

According to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global mean sea level has risen faster since 1900 than in any previous century in the past 3,000 years. This leaves hundreds of coastal cities and millions of people vulnerable to a threat from higher water levels. State-of-the-art climate models provide a […]
