Study of the Earth's geologic history links sea level rise to temperature rise. Engineering the Earth's solar input appears increasingly attractive and practical as a means to lower Earth's temperature, and thus, to lower sea level. The accompanying lower global temperature would reduce the severity of extreme weather, and restore habitability to lethally hot parts of the world. 650 0 $a Sea level. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 830 0 $a IOP concise physics 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905044101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=091075B49C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
