What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities

What If All the World's Ice Melted?


Listen Later

Ice caps on both poles of the planet are melting. If all this ice were to melt, it would be catastrophic. How much would sea levels rise? How would this impact global temperatures? What would this mean for life on Earth? Would coastal lands be completely submerged? What will happen to places like Denmark, the Maldives, and Singapore?
