No, it cannot flood earth.
That's click bait.
There isn't enough frozen water to flood the earth completely.

“Fast-forward 1,000 years, the Earth will be geoengineered,” he said. “The entire climate will be regulated like a modern house—no question.” The climate may get screwed up in new ways as scientists attempt to turn the planet’s temperature dial down. But “if it survives, humanity is simply going to do this.”
That's a neat idea but at the rate we're moving we're going to kill ourselves off well before we figure out how to do anything approaching geoengineering effectively.
Maybe some kind of big boat that can hold a breeding pair of every animal on the planet could be of use.
This time, leave the mosquitoes off the boat.
Thankfully, the Earth will go on but we won't. I welcome our Orcan overlords.
As long as Earth's biodiversity remains intact; the loss of mankind will go without remorse.
Even our precious cats and dogs will forget about us, after they eat us.
But you know who won't forget? Orcas.

Worst case scenario, the bacteria that live in volcanic vents on the floor of the ocean will repopulate the earth. Humans will be just a blip that showed up, made some plastic and then disappeared.
I think Humanity's extinction is extremely unlikely. That being said, life will become much more difficult for surviving humans.
I'm fairly certain that there's not enough frozen water to completely submerge all land, if melted.
Haven't looked into estimates in about 10 years, but the estimates back then were just for significant lowlands being lost.
correct, the article saying we will lose coast population areas, which make up most of humanity. So we will need to move further inland. man island nations will be lost, Australia will also get an inland sea, Bangladesh will largely be lost, Netherlands will be gone, etc.
Seems like a temporary solution anyway, does it not?
The sea is going to rise, but not all at once, tomorrow. Probably, we'll just do what we've been doing, ignoring it until it hits us in the face, and then reacting in a haphazard, half-assed way that doesn't cost the billionaires anything. Rinse and repeat every year.
