this would also need to be included into the computer program to calculate anything close to a possible scenario.

considering that the earths hydrosphere is only 0.023 percent of earths total mass , this leaves room for a deluge of water from binding hydrogen and oxygen atoms forming water molecules as the earth resettles into a stable shape over time due to the land and sea floor rebounding and the land and sea floor sinking that will be a result of the ice melting.


I looked at glacial rebound because of some crap from pre-earth and that will take hundreds of thousands of years if not longer probably millions.

Plate tectonics and/or preearth theory whichever you want to believe will have the world looking very different to today anyhow so sea level discussions are rather meaningless on these scales.

So I guess I come back to the point .... what is the meaning of what your calculating.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
