Collapse of Western Antarctic ice sheet

[Nymph]

So supposedly, the Western Antarctic ice sheet is collapsing/collapsed, and is now going to be melting and causing the sea level to rise for up to 15 feet over the next century. I'm not that educated on the subject but everywhere i look it looks bad.

I'm good in Arizona. While we have a city at -80ft, the water needs to cross California first.
