A. During warmer climates, glaciers melt and sea level rises.

B. During times of cooler climates, the amount of evaporation from the oceans decreases, causing sea level to rise

D. The amount of glacial ice stored on land affects global sea level.

Explanation:

The global sea levels and the amount of climatic pattern are related as wit the rise of the global mean temp of over 1 or 2 °C the climate of the earth will ward and there will be a natural rise of the sea levels due to the stored ice gets melted and additionally the thermal expansion will also cause the expansion of the water levels in the sea and the oceans. When the sea levels fall there is a shift in the hydrological cycle. Water is evaporated and is stored on the glaciers as ice. As proved by the interglacial periods when the sea levels were high er more than the normal about 20 meters.
