How much does water from burning fossil fuels contribute to sea-level rise? During the last 100 years, humans have been burning oil, natural gas, peat and coal. In the next 50 years we will burn even more. Burning hydrocarbons produces carbon dioxide and water. How much has this water added to sea-level rise? Alfred Jacobsen, The Netherlands
