I did a deep dive into this. The worst is gonna be in a couple hundred years. Even if we magically stop emitting CO2. large ice masses take a long time to adapt to new temperatures
Actually, recent studies show the west antarctic ice sheet has already crossed tipping points and could add 1-2 meters within this century, not just in "a couple hundred years" as the thermal intertia you mentioned is being overcome by ocean currents undercutting the glacers.
No that will happen in a century. What Imm saying is it will be even worse in a couple hundred years.
