It’s true that there is enough ice above ground (and sea level) that, if it all melted, would raise ocean levels 200 feet. I’ve done the math because I was skeptical too.
The BS part is, could it all melt? No, not even remotely likely.
I’d love to see the calculations, because I remain skeptical
Thanks for the info.
Assuming the rise of 200 feet doesn’t cause the oceanic crust to sink or compress.
The IPCC’s worst case scenario is 30cm over the next 100 years.
As sea levels rose 30 cm in the last 100 years, and we didn’t notice, I think we’ll get over it.
Exactly. Especially when the poles are in the dark for almost half the year at a time. They're losing more heat than they're bringing in. They're not thawing out.
At one point in the earth's history, there were no poles, and somehow, we're here.
Imagine that.
