    my math must be really off then. ( (1/361.8 mm of sea-level rise per Gt of ice loss) * 1000) * 7.5 = 2713mm = 106.83 inches = 8.9 feet. and the global ocean hasnt risen that much.

      ( (1/361.8 mm of sea-level rise per Gt of ice loss) * 1000) * 7.5 = 20.73mm. Which is about double what the actual paper says, so there’s probably some weird metric vs imperial issues.
