  • An increase of solar activity reaching the earth's surface would warm the surface more.
  • There would be an increase in the amount of infrared heat rising into the atmosphere.
  • This heat would be retained by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causing an increased warming of the earth.
  • Extra warming would melt glaciers which flow off the land into the ocean raising sea levels.
  • Extra heat in the oceans would make them expand raising sea levels all round the world (including the coastline of the US!).
