Small edit note: please put a zero before the decimal point for numbers with decimals:

“Temperature map is from the NASA Earth Observatory

It should be observed here that the Wilkins ice sheet whose collapse prompted this discussion is an anomaly. For one thing, glacier flow contributes only minimally to the ice shelf. Hence its collape will not have the same sort of impact that the collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf did, the effect of which was a .1 to .16 mm sea level rise.”

The last line has the decimals. Also “collapse” has a typo.
