[12] [150] By 2100, there would be another 40 million people under the water line during high tide if sea level rise remains low. This figure would be 80 million for a high estimate of median sea level rise. [12] Ice sheet processes under the highest emission scenario would result in sea level rise of well over one metre (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 ft) by 2100
