There’s a map within this article that details the topography of the glacial base, and is ALL below sea level. Much of it WAY below.

For the purposes of THIS thread, the “money quote” is this:

“Much of the ice sheet is below sea level and susceptible to rapid, irreversible ice loss that could raise global sea-level by over half a meter within centuries.”

So... there ya go: “within centuries”; exact number unknown. Might be three. Might be 30.
Who can say?

Once again, “science” invokes a vague, and stupidly long timespan to sustain panic. Because being honest that the impact is on the order of an inch, or maybe half of one, every hundred years kinda doesn’t stir up the rabble enough to swarm the National Mall, scream, rail, agonize, and fornicate, and leave behind their customary 13 tons of garbage.

I might be pardoned for feeling uniquely uncompelled to take the least action whatsoever.

Hey HKMk23.

I didn’t read your comment before I wrote of my own — and there’s a great image (BBC/NASA) I found that also supports the money quote and sub-sea level ice you mentioned.

You did some nice digging and analysis.
