.. has hit media recently so let's take a look here: ITGC Thwaites Glacier Thwaites glacier melt is now raising sea level by about 2 millimeters per year (within total 3.5 to 4 mm/yr). If it all goes, would increase sea level by 65 cm. Ice guys think that could happen in about 2 centuries. Other ice contributes to sea-level rise but all taken together seem unlikely to raise sea level by > 1 meter by year 2100. That's not enough to trash most global commercial ports (but maybe a few). It would be enough to harm ~ half billion global residents, mostly poor people. Most important here is that oceans have already been warmed by +CO2. Holding that line at current level will not prevent it. Baked in. == Separately we could consider west Antarctic ice sheet mostly held back by Thwaites. It melted has ~ 3 meters of sea-level rise, but would require more centuries. Most other Antarctic ice looks very stable now see link above. == Other things that future +CO2 can do, including +T and increased climate variability could be limited by not making CO2 higher. They have much shorter time controls. I think it merits attention, what we can or cannot do.
The planet is moving off its axis. Where there was always heat, now it snows. Melting glaciers are falling on the lands of the African continent.
