Everyone's fucked as soon as the insurance companies start filing for Chapter 11.

Edit: The smart ones are already looking for suckers to sell to.

Where do you get that from? Seems like doomsday disinformation to me

Recent studies indicate:

collapse is likely in the next 200 to 1000 years https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1249055
we don't know: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05691-0

No, us taxpayers are in for a rude surprise when we have to subsidize states like Florida.

I would re read that physics books again - a melting floating ice you and the article referring to does NOT increase the average sea level. What is more - the southern hemisphere has summer right now.

Ice is a sort of heat sink buffer.

All helps the land-sitting glaciers slide in to the ocean though, doesn't it.

This is about antarctic ice which for the most part is not floating. And it being summer isn't relevant ice averages are measured and compared year over year.

Does the reduction of sea ice has any effect on land ice melting?

Antarctic sea ice likely shrunk to a record low last week, US researchers said Monday, its lowest extent in the 45 years of satellite record-keeping
