If all the ice that currently exists on Earth in glaciers and sheets melted it would raise sea level by 216 feet. (Source: Sea level rise, explained)


And if a new Ice Age were to occur, the seas would likely retreat to approximately the limits of the continental shelves.

I think that it's certain, that under present circumstances, sea levels will continue to rise. What we do about it is at the heart of the climate change debate.

I suspect insurance companies will play a major role in that debate. They’ve already started.
