Most deep ocean is more like 5 km deep.

So when I said in my other post 2.4 meter sea level rise from thermal
expansion being on the alarmist side, take that down to 1 meter to correct
from 12 km to 5 km average ocean depth.

*AVERAGE 5km* ? Are you barking mad ?

I was correcting a calculation I improved upon without considering as
erroneous a depth of 12 km. Most ocean outside the continental shelves is
about 5 km deep, so I used 5 km as a correction over 12 km.

And my 3km guess is closer still to the actual figure.


Take a bit off for continental shelves... I do not consider 5 vs 3.711
km ocean depth "barking mad" when proposing that a few degrees rise of
temperature of this is only good for raising sea level by a meter.

Ho long would it take the oceans to rise in temp by 2 degrees ?
