While temperatures provide a measure of the Earth’s climate, it is even better to use the global sea level , which provides a far more reliable measure. The global sea level acts like the mercury in a thermometer because warmer water expands.

In addition, it stores vast quantities of freshwater that if released to the ocean would rise sea level by tens of meters and interfere with saline-driven ocean currents that transfer heat around the planet. Prof Martin Siegert is an award-winning Antarctic glaciologist and climate scientist.

Since that 2014 study, which laid the foundation of what is called climate source attribution science , UCS scientists have collaborated with Heede on two other studies that pinpointed the major carbon producers’ culpability for specific climate change-related trends.
