When the ice sheets start progressive structural collapses we will see sea level rise events.

Finally, there is another way how ice sheets can contribute to sea level rise: rather than melting at the surface, they can start to flow more rapidly.

Should the ice sheet start to melt in a serious way (i.e. much more significantly than current indications suggest), then lowering of the elevation of the ice sheet will induce more melting simply because of the effect of the lapse rate (air being warmer closer to sea level due to pressure effects).

One example: if West Antarctica's ice sheet started crumbling, for instance, that could push sea levels up significantly.

And why even start with 280 ppm, according to ice cores it isn't an average level.

As the years pass, Antarctica's lowering of sea level (by accumulating water as snow and ice) will decrease until eventually (20 years Zwally estimated) Antarctica will start to contribute to sea level rise.

By the time rising sea levels will hypothetically be a significant problem (based on linear extrapolation), the onset of the next ice age will start to reverse the sea level rise with a vengeance.

This thermal expansion was the main driver of global sea level rise for 75 - 100 years after the start of the Industrial Revolution, though its relative contribution has declined as the shrinking of land ice has accelerated.

By looking closely at this chart you can see that temperatures increased rapidly after the last ice age and then leveled off to a moderate increase before starting a downward trend about 6000 years ago.

Anyway, today we try to explain the exact opposite: how northern hemisphere ice ages can quite suddenly weaken — at least in case of the last one, which had its cold peak around 18,000 years ago, after which atmospheric CO2 levels «suddenly» (over a millennium or so) rose by 30 per cent, and temperatures started to climb closer * to our current Holocene values.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

This grim fact is even bleaker if the international community concludes that it should limit warming to 1.5 degrees C, a conclusion that might become more obvious if current levels of warming start to make positive feedbacks visible in the next few years such as methane leakage from frozen tundra or more rapid loss of arctic ice.

The conventional view holds that sea levels will start to rise as a pulse of warming works its way gradually from the surface through the two kilometre - and three kilometre - thick ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica and melts them.

Last summer, James Hansen — the pioneer of modern climate science — pieced together a research - based revelation: a little - known feedback cycle between the oceans and massive ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland might have already jump - started an exponential surge of sea levels.

The thawing process has already started with sea - ice levels at their lowest this summer.

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

The greatest example of this is the ongoing attempt to show that Antarctica today is covered in ice because 40 million years ago the level of CO2 in the atmosphere started to drop.

So in the past, as shown from the ice core records, when the interglacial cycle reaches its cooling phase and the atmosphere starts to cool in spite of increasing CO2 levels (proven that changes in CO2 lags temperature change by about 800 years) you are saying that didn't happen?

Actually, the ice cube will displace exactly the same mass as it contains; therefore, the water level after the ice melts will be exactly the same as before the ice melted - if the temperature of the water is allowed to return to its starting point.

What Alley skips over so glibly is all of the complicated processes that go on within the ice sheet, starting from the highest level where new snow coats the surface and continuing down into the debths through the compacting firn into the «solid» ice beneath.

For most of human history, since we first started building little lean - to's, sticking some seeds in the ground and tossing a few meat scraps to the wolf pup outside the fire light, CO2 levels have been at around those PI levels, and temperature have only fluctuated by small amounts apart from short term perturbations like the Little Ice Age.
