The first version, the «baseline» case, employs a minor modification of the warming — SLR relationship from Levermann et al. (10) The second version, the «triggered» case, makes a major adjustment to explore an important possibility suggested by recent research, by assuming that an inevitable collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) already has been set in motion (17 ⇓ — 19).

The second Weichselian Icelandic ice sheet collapse, onshore (est. net wastage 221 Gt a − 1 over 750 years), similar to today's Greenland rates of mass loss, has been attributed to atmospheric Bølling - Allerød warming.

Second, he demonstrated that prevailing estimates of the 20th century GMSL rise (~ 1.5 to 2.0 mm / year), after correction for the maximum signal from ocean thermal expansion, implied mass flux from ice sheets and glaciers at a level that would grossly misfit the residual GIA - corrected observations of Earth's rotation.

Breaking away... scientists now believe it takes only 10 seconds for melting to begin at the base of ice sheets.

Second, the complete collapse of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet is not guaranteed, but it is quite plausible.

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.

Second, the abstract admits that, «Pleistocene climate oscillations yield a fast - feedback climate sensitivity of 3 ± 1 °C for a 4 W m − 2 CO2 forcing if Holocene warming relative to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is used as calibration, but the error (uncertainty) is substantial and partly subjective» and also «Ice sheet response time is poorly defined».
