I don't think the magnitude of global ice is widely known, and what melting it all will do to sea levels. For those sceptical sea levels can vary much, historically we know how high the seas were the last time all of the ice melted. 70 metres higher. Even a 1 metre rise would be catastrophically damaging and expensive for nations. Much of the world lives on coasts, in cities.
