Fix formatting, fix grammar

| May 1, 2014 at 17:22 | comment | added | ravenspoint | I think it is correct to assume that, whatever happens, the antartic ice sheet will be the last to go. So, therefore, I do not care how ling it takes to melth the glaciers in the himalyas, etc. The lower boundary does not have to be realistic, just a provable minimum. | |
| May 1, 2014 at 17:20 | comment | added | gerrit♦ | Do you mean you're looking for a realistic lower boundary on time estimates for everything to melt? Also, what does it mean to melt all polar ice? No glaciers left in the mountains, or "just" the ice sheets? I think this could be a great question if you specify a little better exactly what kind of answer you're looking for. | |
