That’s almost 23 feet, folks.

In order for the sea level to rise that much, Greenland’s 1.7 million acres of ice would have to average roughly 6000 feet thick (ASL), and melt completely.

Is it really that thick on average? Rising water levels means reduced land, which means additional water must cover the additional land.

Odds on that happening in the next 10,000 years?

You don’t want my opinion.
