The belief that modern sea levels are unprecedentedly high takes another hit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In southern South America sea levels were ~6 meters higher than today from 8000-6000 years ago, when CO2 hovered around 265 ppm but it was much warmer with less ice. Sea levels then gradually fell to present levels, the lowest in 8000 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis sea level curve suggests that the LGM lowstand sea level occurred at ~18 ka BP at ~105 m below present sea level. The onset of the marine transgression resulted in rapid sea\u2010level rise in the Early Holocene, with a highstand of ~6 m above present between 8 and 6 ka BP, followed by a progressive fall to its present position.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Desiage et al., 2023<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
