Climate Craziness of the Week – MSM jumps on alarming headline

WUWT
"From a University of Leeds press release, comes this scary headline that seems to be picked up by the MSM. A Google search yields 16,400 hits on the title below.

Melting icebergs causing sea level rise

OK here’s the reality punch line:

Assuming their theory of 49 micrometers per year rise (this conversion equals 0.0019 inch or 0.00016 feet ) due to the differences is salty and fresh water holds true, then we can assess the threat level.

At this rate, to see an inch of sea level rise from melting icebergs we’d need:

1 inch/0.0019 inch/yr = 526 years

Yeah, I’m worried about that.
