There are more than 5 million cubic miles of ice on Earth, and
. . . some scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt it all.
If we continue adding carbon to the atmosphere,
. . . we’ll very likely create an ice-free planet,
. . . with an average temperature of perhaps 80 degrees Fahrenheit
. . . instead of the current 58.
What if all the Ice melted and drained into the sea, raising it 216 feet and
. . . creating new shorelines for our continents and inland seas.
. . . What would the world map look like?
