>>3C rise in temperature should set off the melting of the Greenland ice cap. Might take 1000 years to melt though raising sea level 6-7 metres.<<

David, welcome back! As a lowlander I have a few questions...

If the Greenland cap melts, won't the Antarctic cap melt too? If so, how much is the combined rise in sea level?

And if the temperature rises 6C instead of 3C, does the melting happen twice as fast?

What is the worst case scenario?
