If all of Thwaites collapses, it could raise seas around the globe more than two feet (65 centimeters) but that could take hundreds of years,

and is highly unlikely... am i paying for this?

Time to mine the glacier for fresh water and use it to refill the emptying reservoirs.

The rising sea level thing is a bunch of fear porn about a normal phenomenon.

When sea levels rise up enough to make it reach Pevensey Castle in the UK like it did a thousand years ago, it still won't be enough to worry about rising sea levels because the sea levels will barely be getting back to normal.

The same with Pisa, Italy being a former seaport city (a thousand years ago) that's now a mile from the coastline. The same with the ancient seaport Ephesus (a seaport for a thousand years from 3,000 years ago up to almost 2,000 years ago) that's now miles from the coastline. How can we worry about OMG rising sea levels gonna drown us when we have multiple places that historically had sea levels higher than today?

We've had two centuries-long cooling periods since Christ (the Dark Age from around AD 300 to 900 and the Little Ice Age from around AD 1300 to early or mid 1800's). Those cooled the average temps and lowered the sea levels more than their following warm periods have. (Warm periods being the Medieval Warm Period from around AD 900 to 1300, and the Current Warm Period from the 1800's to today.)

Until the sea levels are at least back up to what they used to be they can shove their hockey stick graphs up Michael Mann's butt.

Talk about job security. Hundreds of yrs to melt????? Sounds like watching paint dry but much slower.

So clearly this BS.
