Probably one of the best Steemit post I have read on the topic :)
Thank you for your kind words!
Good post. I'd like to make one correction though:
You write that the water in the breakaway piece might do untold damage when it melts. This is not the case, since the LARSEN C ice shelf is a floating iceberg. Melting it will not raise the waterlevels. This is the same reason why the shrinking of the arctic ice doesn't contribute to sea level rising
It is however feared that the breaking away of Larsen C will cause the land ice on Antarctica to become less stable, risking to slide into the sea faster than it would otherwise. That's where the real problem for the sea level lies.
You are correct, and I stand corrected!
But thank you for the clarification and your time!
