It is suggested that this sheet (about 10% of Antarctic ice) could melt in the "near term" (a usefully vague phrase) and raise sea level 5 to 6 meters.

In case you wondered what that looks like to Florida:

Time to move back to New York, Yankees...

Reminds me of the SNL clip about the attacks on tourists:

"We want to remind you that these recent outbreaks of crime have all taken place in SOUTHERN Florida."

That much of florida is within 15 feet of sea level?

Does that mean a 20-foot storm surge would wash out the entire southern tip of the state?

Ice sheets are in the ocean anyway so melting makes no difference its just ice cubes in glass of water.

Its an improvement...Key West and Miami.
