Okay, I'm no mathematician but isn't that around 15 to 20 years that the shelf has been retreating? I assume that means the ice is vanishing, and I further assume that means the ice is melting. So where are the rising oceans we were promised? When does NY and LA sink beneath the waves, when do we in fly over country get our beach front land? Or have I been scammed?
The ice shelf is not on land, it is on water. When it breaks off, it doesn’t affect sea levels because it was already in the water.
