That would raise the sea level almost as fast, and probably more than if the polar ice caps just melted on their own. Also didn't it come from a comet? Last I checked comet ice isn't the cleanest ice, it's full of fun stuff like ammonia, cyanide, and formaldehyde.
Apparently twitter has a system where they'll pay you for posts with a lot of attention, regardless of it's quality. Pays less than minimum wage but some do it full time anyways.
The angle is having an ingroup. Build a community around absolutely anything and people will come, just so they can belong. Flat earth is just one of these. Flerfers are funny because it's so absurd, but the same psychology is at play for e.g. the manosphere, local sports teams and anything else if you look hard enough.
And they pay the bills via advertising. Another win for capitalism. Yay.
They want to make people suspicious of those who tell them that this year is the hottest since we started keeping records, and that is a big fucking problem that will probably cost us every low lying country and every coastal city and every beach
In Kim Stanley Robinson's near future sci-fi people dredge up the old beaches to build new beaches
They don't want you to know about the lost expedition of 1524. This map is the only surviving evidence of when the famous explorer from Genoa The Barone Giusseppe Palloncino took his high altitude hot air balloon over the entire northern hemisphere.
If you're so smart Mr. Smarty Pants then tell me this: Who invented snow, then? If you say Thomas Jefferson, then you're wrong, he invented traffic lights, doofus.
There is a map showing a very detailed coastline of Antarctica including mountains and rivers from hundreds of years ago that describes it as a place that is very hot and full of snakes. The original map-maker said he had combined maps from multiple sources to create that map. You could argue that the description was false and intended to keep people away, but how did they see the coastline? It is at the very least evidence that Antarctica was not covered in ice at some point during not so distant human existence.
No it's not. It's not like people haven't mapped, measured, and studied the ice for generations. If it had been like that any time in human history, there would be able evidence.
The Late Cenozoic Ice Age has seen extensive ice sheets in Antarctica for the last 34 million years.

Okay, okay, alright, somebody, someone somewhere....
You have to tell me, how the fuck do they make money from being intentionally stupid?
How the fuck?
There's no way they're doing this by accident.
There's no way they're actually this stupid.
There has to be an angle.
What the fuck is the angle?
How the fuck are they funding their lives by saying shit like this?

The best way to find answers online is not to ask a question. Instead, it’s to make a statement that is wrong and wait for someone to correct you.

That Terra Australis going wild in there, or is it the flat earth walls?

Walls. And a few rivers before they froze over as the sun got dimmer with all the 19^th^ century soot.

If you're talking piri reis the "iceless antarctica" map theory got debunked years ago. It's south america with period inaccuracies.
