Thank you for your detailed and insightful comment, David. It’s incredibly valuable to see how much thought you've put into the rapid acceleration of ice melt and the profound consequences for sea-level rise. Your reference to empirical data is critical for grounding the discussion in real-world observations, and your breakdown of the potential scenarios—particularly the economic and humanitarian crises tied to 10-meter to 50-meter rises—helps frame the urgency of the issue in a way that’s both accessible and alarming.

It's also great to hear that this article sparked you to delve deeper into the topic in your own piece. Climate conversations need all the voices they can get. I appreciate the link and the credit, and I look forward to reading more from you in the future, especially with such compelling subjects under your belt.
