I didnt watch vid yet but unless the limestone dissolves.i dont see it happening.if acidification from co2 continues then expect florida to go first.florida is the canary in the coal mine. there is not enough ice at the poles to flood the planet so the only way i know of is by sinking land.

You can only count the ice that is on land. Ice in water is the same when melted. Now how much water is locked up on land and perma frost? Ok that will make a mess of things. many costal places are on the water line now. Add even a meter and they have a lot of problems. Add 10 meters and they swim to work. The oceans are very large and can take a lot. It might even put extra loads on the bottom so they will sink a little more, then we come up a little bit.

And just yesterday I let 2 Icecubes melt. The butterfly effect..................Sorry Earth !

Not enough ice and snow to raise the ocean even an inch.ice on water doesnt count.only ice on land.permafrost may melt and emit methane but where would it go.its trapped on land.if it evaporates it may flood the world as rain but will dilute the oceans salinity thus creating an iceage.imho.

flood the world as rain but will dilute the oceans salinity thus creating an iceage.imho.

I seem to recall that Zorgon chap saying that once or twice
