NOAA estimates that global sea level could rise by up to 2.5 meters by the year 2100.

美国国家海洋和大气管理局估计，到2100年，全球海平面可能会上升2.5米。

Over the past twenty years, they say, melting is added about 11mm to the global sea level.

研究者称，在过去20年间，融冰使海平面上升了11毫米。

Just imagine if they were to melt away completely — global sea levels would rise by about 60 meters.

想象一下，如果它们完全融化，全球海平面将上升约60米。

Scientists say that global sea levels could rise far more than predicted due to accelerating melting in Greenland and Antarctica.

格陵兰岛和南极洲冰川融化速度加快 科学家表示全球海平面的上升可能会远超预期。

By 2100, global sea levels could have climbed by half a metre from 2005 levels.

到 2100 年，全球海平面可能比 2005 年的水平上升半米。

A U.S.-European satellite designed to extend a decades-long measurement of global sea surface heights launched into Earth orbit from California on Saturday.

周六，一颗美欧合作建造的卫星从加州发射进入地球轨道，旨在继续长达数十年的全球海面高度测量工作。

So together, we're talking on the order of 10 meters, you know, 30 feet of global sea level rise.

因此， 我们一起讨论的是 10 米，全球海平面上升 30 英尺。

Rignot says the study will help scientists predict how the continent responds to a warmer ocean and contributes to global sea level rise.

瑞格诺特说，这项研究将帮助科学家预测南极洲对更温暖海洋的反应，以及对全球海平面上升的影响。

It covers an area about the size of the state of Florida, and its melting accounts for about 4% of global sea level rise.

它的面积大约相当于佛罗里达州的面积，如果融化的话，约占全球海平面上升的 4%。

And in just the first decade of the 21st century, we've extracted underground water sufficient to raise global sea level by more than 2 percent.

仅在21世纪第一个10年内，人类抽取的地下水足够让海平面上升2%。

That water, added to warming oceans around the world, will continue to increase global sea levels, says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

政府间气候变化专门委员会说，这些水加到全球变暖的海洋中，将继续增加全球海平面。

If all the ice on Antarctica, Greenland, and the world glaciers melted into the ocean, it would raise global sea level by an incredible 68.3 meters.

如果南极洲、格陵兰岛和世界上所有的冰川都融化到海洋中，全球海平面将上升68.3米，令人难以置信。

The vast island usually locks away enough fresh water in its ice sheet, which if melted can raise global sea levels by six meters.

这个巨大的岛屿通常会将足够多的淡水锁在冰盖中，如果冰盖融化会使全球海平面上升六米。

Scientists are warning that a major glacier in Greenland that contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by 50cm is breaking up at an ever faster rate.

科学家警告称，格陵兰岛巨型冰川正在以前所未有的速度融化，若完全融化，海平面将上升50厘米。
