According to NASA, the polar ice caps are melting at an alarming rate of 9% per decade. The thickness of the Arctic Ice has decreased by 40% since the 1960s.
| Ice mass | Total ice volume | % Global land surface |
|---|---|---|
| WAIS & APIS | 4.5 m SLE | |
| Greenland | 7.36 m SLE | 1.2% |
| Global glaciers and ice caps* | 0.43 m SLE (113,915 to 191,879 Gt) | 0.5% |
| Total | 12.5% |
Most of Grand Bahama, including Nassau (pictured), Abaco and Spanish Wells are projected to be underwater by 2050 because of climate change.
There are more than five million cubic miles of ice on Earth, and some scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt it all.
Researchers used data on Earth’s orbit to find the historical warm interglacial period that looks most like the current one and from this have predicted that the next ice age would usually begin within 1,500 years. They go on to predict that emissions have been so high that it will not.
In fact, sea levels have risen faster over the last hundred years than any time in the last 3,000 years. This acceleration is expected to continue. A further 15-25cm of sea level rise is expected by 2050, with little sensitivity to greenhouse gas emissions between now and then.
But if the world stays on its current path to exceed 2°C, Antarctica might experience an abrupt jump in melting and ice loss around 2060, nearly doubling its contribution to sea level rise by 2100.
Cochin. Kerala’s enchanting city is also in the list, and it is being predicted that 2.32 feet of the city will be under water by 2100. Cochin is today a vibrant city with a lot to offer, not to mention its importance for the state of Kerala. It is hard to imagine that the city will go underwater.

No, California is not going to fall into the ocean. California is firmly planted on the top of the earth’s crust in a location where it spans two tectonic plates. … There is nowhere for California to fall, however, Los Angeles and San Francisco will one day be adjacent to one another!
If all the ice covering Antarctica , Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the world were to melt, sea level would rise about 70 meters (230 feet). The ocean would cover all the coastal cities. And land area would shrink significantly. … Ice actually flows down valleys like rivers of water .
The burning of fossil fuels has resulted in the buildup of greenhouse gases in the environment thus influencing the warming trend because they trap heat in the atmosphere. The increase in temperatures is causing more and more glaciers to melt, consequently, this ends up exposing the earth underneath.
Florida’s high point is 345 feet above sea level, the lowest of all fifty states. Thus it will never go completely underwater, even if all the ice sheets and glaciers on the planet melt, since a total meltdown of all the ice sheets glaciers would raise sea level 212 feet (65 meters).
Ice Age: The Kidnapping is a 2019 American 3D computer-animated comedy film sequel to Ice Age: Collision Course (2016). It is the sixth installment of the Ice Age franchise by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios.
New University of Melbourne research has revealed that ice ages over the last million years ended when the tilt angle of the Earth’s axis was approaching higher values.
