28. Any rational person can now see than an exponential doubling period has been established

You are typical of a climate change denier who will completely sidestep evidence placed right in front of their face. I gave you the link to the 69 foot SLR already already locked in and you go and pick some other video from someone else. Here is the link describing why we are locked into nearly 70 feet of SLR, as argued by Jason Box:

Concerning the exponential growth in SLR that we may very well be in the beginning stages of:

The rate of change in SLR per year has been 1 to 1.4mm since 1900, but jumped to 3.2mm since 1990. That is a 100% to 200% increase for the last couple decades.

Now in the last five years, ice mass loss from the two largest ice sheets on the planet, Greenland ice sheet and West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), have more than doubled.

And the the stability of East Antarctica is being undermined in the same way:

Summary:

SLR has increased by 100-200% in the last two decades compared to the rate of change from the beginning of the twentieth century and there has been a more than doubling in the amount of ice mass loss in the planets two largest ice sheets with East Antarctica showing signs of doing the same thing.

So any rational person can now see than an exponential doubling period has been established and we will be watching to see if it holds up over time.
