re: #76 Sharmuta

That paper is from 1996. You have nothing more current? Most of the data is now showing that previous models were low balling their estimates, so I don’t know why I should consider something over a decade old as more reliable than models based on more current information.

Back of the envelope: if we assume that all 500,000 km^2 of ice melts and spreads evenly over the ocean’s 130 million square mile surface, that represents 5x10^14 cubic meters of ice spread over ~3.5X10^14 square meters, or about a 1.4 meter increase in sea level, total.

Given that most of the predictions I’ve seen for the next few decades express expected sea level increases on the order of centimeters, the 2350 date seems reasonable.
