ONE MILE THICK ICE?

Are you certain?

No, I have to take the word of people who drill
holes in the present ice sheets on Greenland and
the continent of Antarctica for what is there now,
and the opinion of geologists who study past eras.

The first link I mentioned above shows the
area covered by ice at three times in the relatively
recent past by clicking on the different age markers,
to view it in a browser, double click the underlined url.

Here is a link that describes the thickness of
the Greenland ice sheet;

Here is a link that shows a graph of past
temperatures which began warming 18000 years ago,
and have been fairly stable in the last 10000 years,
and that is topical here.

One can also consider the evidence for previous sea levels, which
began to rise at about 18,000 BP and then reached nearly that of
today by about 7,000 BP.

Careful "Joe", this science stuff can get to be an addiction..:-)
Been following the Peak Oil issue too?
