And krsna will tattoo a map of dry land on Tricky's firstborn, and then we'll carve out the blubber from Danzy and use his carcass to sail all of humanity to a new tomorrow.

This just... might... work.

So, water levels globally would probably rise only about 100-120 meters if all of the ice in the whole world melted into the ocean. We'd never be in a Waterworld-type situation.

Besides, the real concern with increased CO2 in the atmo is much more impactful to a Waterworld-type scenario than even the water levels... CO2 dissolves into the ocean, increasing the acidity of the ocean globally.

Can't have a maritime way of life if all of the seafood is dead.
