Nature’s fury: 30-year-old prediction model saw the rise of sea levels coming! (And it’s happening!)

A recent study confirms that sea-level rise predictions from the mid-1990s have been surprisingly accurate, closely matching observed increases. While early models slightly underestimated ice sheet contributions and groundwater depletion, the overall forecasts aligned well with reality. However, NASA reports an accelerating rate of sea-level rise, with thermal expansion now being a major factor.
