If all of the ice stored in antarctica and greenland were


If all of the ice stored in Antarctica and Greenland were to melt due to global warming, the World's oceans would rise by approximately 100m (330 ft.). Take a look at a relief map of the globe and briefly describe some of the major consequences of a 100m rise in sea levels. Please include in your discussion estimated changes to land area (including continents, islands, and low-lying coastal regions), loss of human habitat, and the potential loss of biological diversity. As a sentient species, should we try to curtail our impact on the planet and 3.5 billion years of evolution or should we simply consider ourselves part of the natural cycle of Earth's biodiversity?
