A Deep Thaw: How Much Will Vanishing Glaciers Raise Sea Levels?

More evidence of liberal climatic extremism:

Greenland, the world's largest island, holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 23 feet (seven meters). Add the ice sheets of Antarctica and the oceans would deepen more than 200 feet (60 meters). Satellite measurements from space and speed measurements on land confirm that Greenland's glaciers are melting and on the move. And although the picture is less clear in Antarctica, the global warming seems to be having an impact there, too.

No Michigan is well above sea level don't confuse lake level with sea level.

The lowest point in Michigan is 572 feet above sea level where Michigan meets Lake Erie.
