Firstly the third point is not only disturbing the first point but offering a prediction that obviously contradicts the first point.

Let’s rather ONLY use the second point then qualify it with volumes of melt, enabling a relationship between volumes and sea level change. Then add something rather important to make the prediction, add temperature change to the graph … in order to melt, the temperature has had to change. This is the ONLY way point three can have any relevance except as a self conclusion to an assumed self fulfilling prophecy.

The implied conclusion is that we should be scared … perhaps a calculation related to real science; available ice volume, realistic melt rates and subsequent sea rise would qualify HOW scared we should be. Then in order to make it relative to ANY thinking human, add some sort of timeline to create the “scare” function. Otherwise this depiction is pretty much a child’s sketch for people who have already concluded that the world will start on fire in a few years … why or how doesn’t matter.
