90 meters

Using data from http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs2-00/ I estimate that if all land ice is molten the sea levels will increase with between 63 and 90 metres.

Data on ice volumes from above link and areas from Wikipedia.

Sign of the times?

Before the G8 meeting Merkel said that Germany would take the lead in world to become a sustainable society.

In a comment in a Swedish after the same meeting it was stated that the USA is taking the initiative in the politics of curbing climate change. I guess Bush wants to end his last period as president on a positive note. There is a Swedish saying: "When the devil gets old he gets religious".

Also, the Vatican will install photovoltaic cells on one of its buildings very soon. And more is expected.

Is it a crazy world or is it finally coming to its senses?
