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.
