Sea Change. Since around the time of the Industrial Revolution (the late 18th and early 19th centuries), Earth's atmosphere has warmed by a little less than 1Â° C (1.8Â° F) (Figure 2). In turn, the ocean has also risen by about 15 centimeters (6 inches) over the past 100 years -- for two reasons. First, when water warms up, it expands, in much the same way as a solid does when it heats up.
Figure 1: The world's surface air temperature change (anomaly), relative to the world's mean temperature of 58Â° F or 14.5Â° C, averaged over land and oceans from 1975 to 20082. Inset are two periods of no warming or cooling within this overall warming trend. Copyright 2009 American Geophysical Union.
