Western Antarctica is where that gigantic ice mass sitting in a bowl on land threatens to raise sea level by a full 20 feet. On the ground scientific expeditions to the area have drilled the area to determine its dimensions more precisely than can bedone via satellite, and, among other things, have determined the bowl is filling with warm water cresting its lip.

Wittering on about the threat posed by West Antarctic ice sheet might be intelligent, but that wasn't what you were doing.
It might make sense to worry about it when it does show some sign of moving, but that wasn't what you were doing.

Your problem is you absolutely cannot 'synthesize' any particular news or information release with what you should know has gone before.
I'd say 20 feet rise, which could happen very soon, will definitely wipe out the treeless ape coastal settlement.

This isn't the last ice age or any of your other '-ene' eras. If anything they're seeing a total disconnect between rates of modern climate change and similar events from the distant past.
For practical purposes it's enough to know the catastrophic sea level rise will happen before civilization is ready and faster than they can cope with.
