From memory, I think that is about right. I showed the basis of my calculations in this forum quite some time ago.
I think that it was in response to a post made by one of the members of long standing. He had worked back from the 7m and got an erroneous (and quite unbelievable) figure for the volume of the Greenland icecap. He thus concluded that the 7m rise was also unbelievable. I had a look at his figures and noted that he had used the 7 as 7km, not 7m. He thanked me for the correction. Aplogies to the original poster - I am not totally certain who it was.
