The above page says that the average temperature of the surface layer is

water appears to me a bit less, maybe .00015 per degree C.
So when the top 600 meters has warmed up by 2 degrees C, it would expand
by about .03%, or .18 meter.

You must be wrong. Al Gore says 20 feet.

That's the effect of the Greenland ice *** melting.
