极地冰盖融化导致的海平面上升是未来气候变化的最大潜在威胁之一。到2100年，极地变暖可能达到130，000至127，000年前的水平，与海平面比现代水平高出数米;格陵兰冰盖和南极冰盖的部分可能是脆弱的。过去冰盖融化的记录表明，未来融化的速度和相关的海平面上升可能比人们普遍认为的要快。
Sea-level rise from melting of polar ice sheets is one of the largest potential threats of future climate change. Polar warming by the year 2100 may reach levels similar to those of 130,000 to 127,000 years ago that were associated with sea levels several meters above modern levels; both the Greenland Ice Sheet and portions of the Antarctic Ice Sheet may be vulnerable. The record of past ice-sheet melting indicates that the rate of future melting and related sea-level rise could be faster than widely thought.
