Original Note:
Pointing out the total mass of the ice sheet and the time it would take for it to melt is kind of a red herring. The volume above sea level of Thwaites glacier alone (which showed signs of instability lately) is sufficient to raise the global sea level by 65cm. https://www.antarcticglaciers.org/2020/01/what-is-the-ice-volume-of-thwaites-glacier/ https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2404766121
