Events of this.magnitude only happen a few times in 100,000 years. During interglacial periods which the earth has been in an interglacial period for the last 10,000 years ice sheet collapses happen that’s by definition what makes an interglacial an interglacial. Technically earth is still in an ice age as there is still continental and alpine glaciation. There have been times in earth’s past not that far past where all the ice sheets have melted in the interglacial periods this has and no doubt will raise sea levels by 200+ feet there is absolutely nothing man can do to stop ice sheet collapses its part of earth’s climate cycles largely driven by eccentricity in earth’s orbit and the wobble of earth’s axis relative to the plane of the ecliptic. If this ice sheet goes people will have to move its that simple. It’s not type the sheet is moving that’s very much part of earth’s climate cycle its how fast and when is this sheet going to splash down so to speak.
I appreciate the info.
