Looks to me like the people who shepherd Obama through life aren't too concerned about sea levels.

Zombie ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, according to a study released Monday.
Zombie or doomed ice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers. That’s because the parent glaciers are getting less replenishing snow. Meanwhile the doomed ice is melting from climate change, said study co-author William Colgan, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.
“It’s dead ice. It’s just going to melt and disappear from the ice sheet,” Colgan said in an interview. “This ice has been consigned to the ocean, regardless of what climate (emissions) scenario we take now.”
Study lead author Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Greenland survey, said it is “more like one foot in the grave.”
The unavoidable ten inches in the study is more than twice as much sea level rise as scientists had previously expected from the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet. The study in the journal Nature Climate Change said it could reach as much as 30 inches (78 centimeters). By contrast, last year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report projected a range of 2 to 5 inches (6 to 13 centimeters) for likely sea level rise from Greenland ice melt by the year 2100. The researchers in the study said they couldn’t estimate the timing of the committed melting, yet in the last sentence they mention, “within this century,” without supporting it, Stearns said.
Colgan responded that the team doesn’t know how long it will take for all the doomed ice to melt, but making an educated guess, it would probably be by the end of this century or at least by 2150.

My favorite troll today, so far.
I smell a Babylon Bee article in this story.
Oh no, the climate “experts” again predict another catastrophe for the Earth.
Never mind, that over the past 50 years, the climate “experts” have been wildly wrong about 95% of the time.
Dead ice...like a doll’s ice.
Yo Baraq!
Better sell those beach mansions, stat.
5.56mm
BS.
BULL F’n Schitt.

I guess I’ll go buy an electric car tomorrow. Or the next day.
I see dead ice.
We’re gonna need a bigger glacier.
I would love to see the math on that prediction.
DOOMED DEAD ZOMBIE ICE! Alright I’m kind of scared now.
Did sea levels fall 10 inches after the ice returned to Greenland?
Also, did ocean levels rise after the last time Greenland thawed?
Greenland was green only a few hundred years ago.
morons.
Wake me when Obama sells his Hawaiian beachfront mansion.
Computer generated program ?
GIGO - Garbage In,.. Garbage Out !
Don't forget that the earth is in an Inter-Glacial era of warming
I’ll never put on a life jacket again
