It was an interesting excercise to see just how much the earth's oceans would rise if all the Antartican ice melted. The results I got weren't nearly as bad as some might make it out to be: 60 feet (well, 18 meters, since I did the calculations in metric). Yes, it would be devistating here in South Florida, but I doubt we'd be seeing Great American Foreheads of Mt Rushmore any time soon (sources for figures: area of Antartica, average depth of all the oceans and average thickness of Antartican ice).

Yeah, but isn't the idea of the Kurdish Riviera intriguing?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
