This issue is the potential catastrophic consequences, if we let the ice shelves melt to the point that the West Antarctic ice sheet collapses -- increased snowfall is negligible by comparison.

The ocean warming is causing ice shelves to melt, but, as you know from the ice cubes in your drink, melting of ice in the ocean has no effect on sea level. Small ongoing sea level changes, whichever direction, have modest impact.

I have not had time to look at data, but such a result is possible temporarily. Accelerated global warming is causing increased snowfall over ice sheets, especially Antarctica -- and this shows up as at least intermittent ice sheet mass gain in gravity satellite data.

Predictably, soon, most young people will reject extremist views. Nature’s Corridor (draft Chapter 1 of Sophie’s Planet) could help heal wounds of the past. mailchi.mp/caa/natures-...

We, and young people, need help from people who understand the essence of climate science. See Forest versus Trees - columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailin... or its abbreviation - mailchi.mp/caa/seeing-t... also available on my Substack - jimehansen.substack.com/p/seeing-the...
