| Title: | PROJECTED INCREASES IN TEMPERATURE AND SEA LEVEL |
| Caption: | (b) Projected sea-level changes to the year 2100 under two global scenarios: Scenario A1 (red line): Rapid economic growth; energy systems make intensive use of fossil fuels. New and more efficient technologies are introduced. Sometimes called the "business as usual" scenario. Scenario B1 (green line): Rapid changes in economic structures toward a service and information economy; reductions in material intensity; and introduction of clean and resource-efficient technology.
