I've read that it is a predicted 10' sea level rise if that collapses (probably because it already displaces a lot of water)... but honestly, my hearts not in arguing the point. AGW is the most critical threat facing humanity either way.

I wasn’t basing the 30’ on sources I’d read, just what you said combined with what I knew the thickness to be. 10’ is pretty serious (big chunk of Manhattan / South Florida would be underwater), do you happen to have a link for that handy? If not, I’ll try to find in Google.
