If the level is going to rise by that amount, then I would expect to see a meter rise every decade, which is not happening. Someone needs to calculate the amount of heat energy required to melt all of that ice and realize that this must come in addition to the heat that causes the air temperature to rise.
Don't you think that all that newly melted ice would behave like placing ice cubes into warm water? I suspect that you were being a bit sarcastic in your response. Nuclear war has almost occurred at least one documented time when a single guy would not agree to launch against his orders. And, this was when the countries that might initiate it were much more reasonable than those that now control the trigger. I will be pleasantly surprised if a nuclear exchange does not occur within the next 50 years, and we can only hope that it will be restricted to the local region.
