“If that ice sheet were to disintegrate, it could raise the level of the sea by more than 160 feet — a potential apocalypse, depending on exactly how fast it happened,” NYT reporter Justin Gillis wrote of what some scientists predict could happen to Antarctica.

If "ifs and buts" were peanuts and nuts, what a party we would have!

The classless and clueless NYT is way over their collective heads, not in water, but in understanding the weakness of their wild speculations.

It is like being aware that the lowest possible score for 18 holes of golf is 18. So the NYT predicts or, more likely, wishfully thinks, that we are all doomed because we will not listen to them and bow to those who want to control our lives. It is more likely for someone to score 18 for 18 holes of golf!

Their scaremongering cannot be supported by facts and statistics and science. The NYT are on equal par with people carrying placards that say "The End is Near." It is nonsense.

It is time for the NYT to go away and come back later, maybe two generations later.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think
the UN’s Scientific committee estimates sea rise-
+4mm a year or around an inch every 10 years.

So even if you believe the ‘97% of Scientists’ lie, you are
predicting a trivial amount of sea level rise.
