Chosun,
To put this into reasonable historical and scientific perspective I'd recommend reading section "4.2.1 Glaciers and Greenland ice sheet" in Judith Curry's 2018 "Special Report: Sea Level and Climate Change," pg. 24. Although I attached the article to an earlier post I suspect not many people read it. I've attached it again for those who may have missed/dismissed it.
Curry serves on [the] NASA Advisory Council Earth Science Subcommittee whose mission is to provide advice and recommendations to NASA on issues of program priorities and policy. She is a recent member of the NOAA Climate Working Group and a former member of the National Academies Space Studies Board and Climate Research Group. (from Wiki)
Ed
Chen et al. (2017) provides an updated analysis of the budget of sea level rise during the
satellite era (Figure 4.2). The key finding is that global mean sea level rise increased
from 2.2 ± 0.3 mm/year in 1993 to 3.3 ± 0.3 mm/year in 2014. The mass contributions
(from glacier and ices melting) increased from about 50% in 1993 to 70% in 2014. The
largest increase has come from the contribution from the Greenland ice sheet, which is
less than 5% of the global mean sea level rate during 1993 but more than 25% during
2014. The increase in the rate of sea level rise is largely attributed to increased melting
of the Greenland ice sheet.
Interesting considerations when you go beyond the simplistic solutions and blind leaps of faith .....

I posted this just as food for thought and as a launchpad for further research on specific current numbers.This one is unbelievably out of date. Now down to close to $100 per kW/h.
