I'll hold off on that ocean front property for now. But you go ahead
Prolly good advice in case of an Atlantic tsunami;
but it won't be from melting the Greenland Ice Cap ..
Here's the relevant data from Wiki ..
en.wikipedia.org
From my prior post I had ..
630,000 cu miles ice volume or 2,625,900 cu kms
from the link above we get
683,000 cu miles ice volume or 2,850,000 cu kms
also the following melt rates ..
1996 96 cu kms
2005 220 cu kms
2006 239 cu kms
The 2005-2006 melting growth rate is 1.0863636%
So, if we start in 2005 with an ice sheet
volume of 2,850,000 cubic kms , that had a
net melt of 220 cubic kms and compound that
melt rate thru 2034 @ 1.0863636% per year;
we melt a total of 28,007 cubic kms over that
period of time or less than 1% of the
total ice volume .. also, @ 239 cu kms per year
net melt .. It'll take oh .. 12,000 years to melt
the Greenland Ice Cap ..
I think I'll go back to worrying about the
ramifications of Peak Oil, cause GW induced
sea level rise just ain't happening in any time
frame we humans will have to worry about .. at least
not for several more generations ..
