8,000-year-stable Earth temperatures led to continuous 150-foot sea level rise, indicating ongoing ice melt inertia.

Based on historical data, Earth's temperature has risen seven degrees Fahrenheit since the last ice age, leading to a 280-foot rise in sea levels. Despite stable temperatures over the next 8,000 years, sea levels continued to rise by an additional 150 feet. This trend suggests that even if ongoing temperature rise is halted, ice melt and consequent sea level rise will continue due to the inertia of the process.
