The text states that if all Earth's ice melts, ocean levels will rise by 70 meters.
Web evidence indicates that melting ice, particularly from glaciers and ice sheets, significantly contributes to rising sea levels. Some scientific estimates suggest that if all land ice melted, the sea level could rise by approximately 70 meters. This claim aligns with widely accepted scientific understanding and calculations found in reputable sources, such as studies analyzing the potential impact of ice melt on sea levels. This provides a strong basis for considering the claim as factual.
