warm the massive amounts of water on the planet up a few degrees, and it

Where ? I thought mainly 3 km for deep ocean.


a small volumetric change of a 1% expansion could roughly raise the levels:
12,000 m * 0.01 = 120m!

Where did you get your 1% from ?

And it's not all 12km deep btw. In fact I know of nowhere that deep. A heck of a
lot of it is shallow. Plus it takes apparently ~ 10,000 years to make
significant changes in overall ocean temperatures.

Maybe you ought to study science before posting ?
