Subject: Global Warming

Question
Sir,

The temperature is increasing every year, What is the average temperature that can melt all the glaciers and By which year it may occur? I heared that it may be the year 2030 is it true? Please help me with some stastics.

Suppose all the glaciers melt then the sealevel will rise upto how much of height from the normal ground level??

Answer
Hafeez:
The current global warming trend is something that humans have never experienced.  There are many models for how soon the ice will melt and how much sea level will rise.  And these models are being constantly revised.  Therefore, I, as a scientist, find it impossible to predict either when or how much.  If you do some work on the internet you might find predictions from various sources.
