Do you have some studies to back that assertation up? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What I find quite unlikely about it is that you aren't accounting for the time
delay between the rise of sea level off Antarctica and the rise in Britain. I
forget the exact lapse, but I think it's over a decade. Bangladesh gets a *lot*
less warning.
OTOH, I'll admit I can't estimate the probability of it happening through a
sudden slip and slide. I don't know if there's anyone who can reliably make
that kind of prediction. I *do* know that there's a lot more activity under the
top of the ice than would have been believed a decade ago. Still, I think that
the consensus is that MOST of the ice in Antarctica is still reliably held on
land. But the fraction that isn't could be quite a problem.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
