It would be interesting to compare the numbers, if any, for volume and time span of an ice sheet failure (are there any for how fast it could happen)?
At face value their numbers suggest the Arctic will be left with an extensive cover (> 4 million km ^ 2) of ice but only a small volume (< 2 million km ^ 3): i.e. on average the ice will be less than half a metre thick.
He said weather scientists have known there was a relationship between ice and lightning, but were learning new details by studying the National Aeronautics and Space Administration satellite images which can look at both the number of lightning strikes and the volume of ice in a cloud at the same time.
The number of cryospheric elements now routinely monitored from space is growing, and current satellites are now addressing one of the more challenging elements, variability of ice volume.
That gives you a profile of ice thickness, and it is straightforward in principle to use it to calculate the ice volume — though in practice it remains an awful lot of numbers to crunch.

A number of techniques have been employed to sub-set or recalibrate these projections based on different aspects of the observed ice cover, including the mean and / or seasonal cycle of ice extent (e.g., Stroeve et al., 2007, 2012a; Wang and Overland, 2009, 2012), historical ice cover trends (Boe et al., 2009), and ice volume and thin ice area (Massonnet et al., 2012).
So the ice melted before the CO2 increased I picked this up surfing the internt: «Glaciation For a number of reasons, the volume of glacial ice near the poles waxes and wanes over time.
If you Google the best estimates of runoff + thermal expansion contributions to sea level, and assume that the none thermal expansion part came from permanent ice melt, do you get similar volume numbers?
