melting math

media

the BBC writes about greenland

Reading it, you would think that Greenlands Ice is about to be gone.

Only using numbers from this article (6.5 meters rise of sea level if ice melts completely, 0.5 millimeters rise a year) it will take 13,000 years till Greenlands ice cap is gone.

I am not saying that global warming is not real. I am just surprised how somebody can write an article that contradicts itself in such simple ways.
