If the whole glacier system melts, Joughin says, it would raise global sea levels about 24 inches (60 centimeters), he adds. The process will take a while, roughly 200 to 900 years, Joughin and colleagues estimate, depending on how fast temperatures rise and how much snow falls in the area.

So, let me get this straight...........if the entire freakin glacier.....meaning ALL of the Thwaites glacier on Antarctica's Amundsen Sea melts, then worldwide sea levels would raise 24 inches.

Now, the doom and gloom folks love to play with absolutes. Do you really think the entire freakin glacier system there is going to melt. If you do, I have a land mass on the moon to sell you.

No matter, lets tax the living **** out of people and spend multiple trillions of dollars on this because it is OBVIOUS that gubment spends our money extremely effectively.

I don't even know why I try......

Later,

where did you read info that says, if all Antarctica's Glaciers melted, the ocean levels would only rise 24 inches? here is a link that says Antarctica's Ice Glaciers are 7,000 feet thick and if it melted the ocean would rise about 200 feet. and the Ice on Greenland alone would make the ocean rise 20 feet.
