Editing IPCC Third Assessment Report (section)

===Sea level rise predictions===
An example of scientific research which suggests that previous estimates by the IPCC, far from overstating dangers and risks, have actually understated them is a study on projected rises in sea levels. When the researchers' analysis was "applied to the possible scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the researchers found that in 2100 sea levels would be 0.5–1.4 m [50–140 cm] above 1990 levels. These values are much greater than the 9–88&nbsp;cm as projected by the IPCC itself in its Third Assessment Report, published in 2001". This may have been due, in part, to the expanding human understanding of climate.<ref name="BBC 2">{{cite news |date=14 December 2006 |title=Sea level rise 'under-estimated' |work=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6179409.stm |access-date=24 July 2007 |archive-date=12 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070712101359/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6179409.stm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Telegraph">{{cite news |last=Highfield |first=Roger |date=28 December 2006 |title=London-on-Sea: the future of a city in decay |publisher=[[Telegraph.co.uk]] |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/12/27/nlondon27.xml |url-status=dead |access-date=24 July 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070517113134/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/12/27/nlondon27.xml |archive-date=17 May 2007}}</ref> Greg Holland from the [[National Center for Atmospheric Research]], who reviewed a multi-meter [[sea level rise]] study by [[James Hansen|Jim Hansen]], noted "''There is no doubt that the sea level rise, within the IPCC, is a very conservative number, so the truth lies somewhere between IPCC and Jim.''"<ref>{{cite news |year=2015 |title=James Hansen's controversial sea level rise paper has now been published online |newspaper=Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/07/23/controversial-sea-level-rise-paper-is-now-published-online/ |access-date=2022-10-27 |archive-date=2019-11-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191126005216/https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/07/23/controversial-sea-level-rise-paper-is-now-published-online/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
