I thought I could depend,
\nOn Greenland,
\nI don’t understand,
\nHow’d things get so outta hand?<\/p>\n
Mountain glacier,
\nWashes ashore,
\nWest Antarctica,
\nComing right at ya,
\nWilling to sacrifice,
\nGreenland’s ice,
\nEast Antarctica?!?!?!?!
\nDaaaaa…
\nHeart attack —
\nAhhhhh!<\/p>\n
With the rising tide,
\nThere’s no place to hide,
\nA brackish backlash,
\nCan’t take it in stride,
\nThe divide… toooo wide.<\/p>\n
As Tasmanian’s cancer,
\nIs Nightmare’s romancer,
\nA Frankenfish,
\nScales the wall,
\nEscaping from,
\nMan’s great fall,
\nYeah, we’re hot,
\nAs our heatwave,
\nSends em to their grave,
\nYeah, we forgot,
\nWhat we’re not:<\/p>\n
We’re not so good,
\nTo know what we should,
\nWe’re not too good,
\nTo do what we could.<\/p>\n
If we think of the good…
\nWe would.<\/p>\n
With the rising tides,
\nOur ride collides,
\nA brackish backlash,
\nGotta blame it on pride,
\nAnd, my selfish inside.<\/p>\n
Kingdom come,
\nHas come undone,
\nHow dumb?
\nHow dumb.<\/p>\n
NOTES
\nJohn (of Bakersfield, CA) asked:
\nIs there a consensus on the maximum sea level rise if all the ice upon land melts ? I have heard from 175ft. to 415 ft. Anybody done an accurate study on this ? Thanks<\/p>\n
Sidd replied:
\nvarious contributions from ice
\na)mountain glaciers: 10 cm — 7 in
\nb)West Antarctica:500 cm — 15 ft
\nc)Greenland:500 cm – 15 ft
\nd)East Antarctica: 7000 cm — 210 ft<\/p>\n
also other contributions from thermal expansion of the warming oceans (20 cm\/degree\/Km) etc…. looks like greenland is goin fast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
