Thanks for this. I would love to see their mathematics for how the global oceans will rise by ‘at least a foot’. As you noted, that would take a serious number of cubic miles of water. Even then, as the oceans grow in height, more surface is exposed meaning even more volume is required to keep it rising. It’s not linear.

good on ya’

My first thoughts, too.

People tend to forget about the SIZE and EXTENT of the oceans.

They are willfully ignorant.

I flew down the Beardmore Glacier once from the Pole to McMurdo. It is VAST in its size and extent.

...But NOTHING compared to the oceans.

As an experiment, put ice in a glass. Then fill the glass with water. Make note of exactly where the water line is. Leave and come back in a couple of hours. The water line will NOT have moved.

The only way water levels could rise is the ice that is on land melts. That ice has been melting for at least 10,000 years or more.
