Global Warming and Sea Level Rise

For a story I’m writing that’s set in the future, I needed to research this sea level rise I’ve been hearing about. With the temperature rise from global warming, the sea levels will also rise, for two different reasons. For one thing, it’s basic physics that water expands as its temperature rises. As the temperature of the earth rises, the temperature of the oceans and all other water on the earth will also rise. As they rise, the water will expand, and the sea levels will rise.
