Estimate long it would take to melt the ice

800 Mya the Earth was in a "Snowball Earth" episode, with glaciers extending to the equator. Assuming today's Solar luminosity, an albedo of 0.9, and today's Greenhouse, estimate long it would take to melt the ice.

State all assumptions clearly. It takes 2 J /g to melt ice at a temperature of OC.
