One worry a decade or two ago was that with climate change the west Antarctic ice sheet would slide into the sea. If it did it would raise sea levels 10m in hours (in the speed of an ocean wave)

We now know that isn’t a significant threat.

If all Antarctica melted it’s bad for civilisation, tens of metres of sea level rise. 60 to 70 metres.

You might want to factor in at least 60m of sea level rise in that case, submerging the land where over 80% of humans live.

Climate change or not, the Antarctic Treaty System still means that no state may claim territorial sovereignty or exploit resources for national gain.

Lol China will take it all. U think the next 50years will be respectfully and law abiding when food and water runs out in whole countries

There’ll be no mentionable human civilisation left when that ice has melted.

When, not if.

lotta dinosaur bones down there.
