And not an SUV or coal-fired power plant in sight....
Maybe carbon dioxide is not as much of a factor in planetary warming and/or cooling as once thought.
Could either A) a sudden surge of heat from the earth’s interior, released through geothermal vents or eruptions, or B) a sudden surge in the heat reaching the earth from the sun, due to the sun’s own heat release activity, have anything to do with the cataclysmic ice melting?
It takea an AWFUL lot of heat units to convert so much ice to liquid water. Check the textbooks on this.

The team has used dating evidence from Tahitian corals to constrain the sea level rise to within a period of 350 years, although the actual rise may well have occurred much more quickly and would have been distributed unevenly around the world's shorelines.

in a few tens of decades.
Lets see if my math is still up to par. A decade is ten years, ten decades would mean a hundred years, tens of decades loosely translated would equal to about 500 years so a few of those would equal to at least 2000 years......
We're screwed!

...confirmed that the event occurred 14,650-14,310 years ago at the same time as a period of rapid climate change known as the Bølling warming... This was followed by the Younger-Dryas (12,800 - 11,500 ya) which was the coldest time of the last 20,000 years. The Diagram shows the spike at ~15,000ya. The world was usually a pretty cold place before ~12kya.

A mega flood in historic times??? That's odd; who knew??? For as long as I can remember, the Scientific Community was convinced, maybe deluded into believing the pap that there was no evidence to support such foolishness. Absolute and unmitigated nonsense we were told. I gather following the herd, even for adherents to the Scientific Method has not been so hard when magical dollars are at stake. However, tie it to modern nonsensical notions of man made
global warmingclimate change; IGNORE evidence around the world indicating a SUDDEN flood and the scientist wins the Kewpie doll and gets published. Question is, how did this guy ever get this heresy into print??? Tens of decades? Whatever. Surely he realizes the inherent dangers in straying from
conventional wisdom. Is he getting ready to retire?
Pardon my cynicism but some times this $4!T just makes me want to puke!

it is also subsiding into the ocean at a steady pace that we can easily adjust for.' Hmmm...I wonder if when they see a car traveling at a steady pace of 60 miles per hour down the road they assume that it has always been traveling that speed.
