Accelerating Photosynthesis

I was surprised by your affirmation, as I had the (apparently wrong) assumption that sea levels would increase by at least a few meter in the century.

However, the IPCC (UN group in charge of research for climate change) does predict an increase of ~0.2 to 0.5m (basically a foot) of the sea level in the next century.

Subsidence of lands under glaciers limits sea level rising, but not equally on the earth surface

I don't understand how subsidence of land under glaciers limits sea level rise, could you explain it more?

Let's try this: If both sea level and ground level move, what their interaction is locally isn't the same as the difference of the global averages.
