> The melting of the ice-caps over the next 100 years or whatever will result is rising sea levels. Potentially a rise of hundreds of metres. If literally all the ice on the planet melted and ran into the ocean the ocean would only rise 70 meters [0] (so 100s of meters is genuinely physically impossible). The current WORST case scenarios as modeled by the IPCC would put us on track for <4 meters of rise by 2300, 280 years from now [1] [0] https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-would-sea-level-change-if-all-glaciers-melted https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-would-sea-level-change-if-all-...
