Well I think it's established that this is a cycle of freeze and melt so I don't believe we'll see all of that melting into the oceans.. but much
will
We're indeed seeing a climate shift.. only reason I say that is because in my region we saw a horribly long winter with ice storms and below average
temperatures for months.. prefixed by a super mild summer.. in fact this summer so far we've only had what I would call a few hot days.. compared to
my youth seeing it reaching into the 100s several times..
What we seem to be seeing is temperatures dropping in regions while it rises in others.. I don't see an actual "global" warming .. in fact that seems
rather absurd because it is saying that temperatures are rising globally.. and it's not ..
Surely it will have huge impact, but I think where we see ice now, within the next few hundred years ( or more ) will be habitable and full of life
while some of the nicer regions we're in now will be harsh and cold.. that seems to be where it's headed in actuality ..
Some flooding in some areas will probably happen.. it will reshape our land mass .. and the ice regions will be in new locations... it won't end the
world, it will force a change.. it won't happen over night, so I don't expect it will kill millions... it will just force migration over time.. it's
absurd to think it will be tomorrow where we see a 10 meter rise.. ( if we ever do for that matter ) .. it will take place over many years and we
will have time to adapt.
