Your 3.5 inches does not fit with the 2 mm/y figure. 90 years left in the century, 180 mm = 7.08 inches.
Sea ice melt is accelerating and the East Antarctic is melting without gaining mass (no one predicted this though Hansen mentioned it was possible, he got laughed at).
God it is
WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. Twice as bad. We are doomed.
Seven inches. In a ninety years. Anyone under seven inches tall is in big trouble.
Think of the snails. Especially baby snails.
And yeah just a thousand or so years ago when the Vikings farmed Greenland the seas must have been higher. Their villages are now under ice. Doesn't any one care about Vikings any more? That is an extinct species for sure.
The East Arctic will be gone. And then what will we do? I guess we will have to move to the West Antarctic.
And what about the Glaciers in the Himalayas? Gone in thirty five years according to the IPCC.
And you know what? I have incontrovertible proof: What happened to the glacier that used to cover Chicago? Gone. The glacier that used to cover most of Canada? Gone.
It is unprecedented. Terrifying. Scary.
I'm going to send Al Gore all my spare change. After I buy a candy bar with most of it.
