The water level will rise 48 meters, according to endtimeheadlines.org.
The New York Times has issued a warning that global warming is reaching a whole new level. The publication has published a three-part series that heralds a "potential apocalypse" due to the melting of ice caps if people continue to send carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
“If this ice sheet collapses, it could raise sea levels by more than 160 feet (about 48 meters). And there will be a potential apocalypse, depending on how quickly it happens, writes Justin Gillies to a reporter for the New York Times. These warnings are based on calculations by scientists who predict the melting of Antarctica.
Gillis points to recent studies suggesting that "the collapse of the ice sheet will become inevitable," likening the projected 160-foot rise in sea level to the flood stories of the Gilgamesh epic, the Old Testament and other ancient tales. For example, in the epic of Gilgamesh, "the waters overflowed the Earth so much that even the gods were frightened." Gillis also mentions the Indian Vedas, where the god Vishnu warns a person to take refuge in a boat, taking seeds with him. In the Bible, God commands Noah to take a couple of each living thing to his ark.
