And, during that so-called last interglacial, temperatures were just 1or 2 degrees C (1.8 to 3.6 F) warmer than those of preindustrial times\u2014marks we may surpass by century&#8217;s end, if not sooner. Such a deluge could have been produced only by collapses of  the Greenland and\/or Antarctic ice sheets. If that happens now, it will drown much of the human world. Yet, at least so far, models of future sea level rise generally hover around a meter or so within the next 100 years.
