Global warming

 
This is a map of Antarctica and it shows the flow rate of the ice on the continent.
The scale is blue 0 to white 1000meters per year.
The ice is over 2 miles thick in places and for every meter it advances to the sea the same amount falls in to the sea and melts away if this trend continues to speed up ,which it seems to be, then sea levels will rise.
I hope this answers the question posted earlier about global warming.
