Generally no. Glaciers are only stable when the climate is stable. Also that implies the glacier melt isnt going to accelerate in the coming years, which it probably will. Exactly when the glaciers will be gone ut anybody's guess though.

Also he said 30 million TONNES, not tons (Amerishart moment), so the math is wrong. Multiply 262.8 billion by about 1.1 an you get the real answer (again, assuming it's not going to accelerate)

I am not going to dig it out again, last time I did it by following the links from Wikipedia, but the estimated mass change of the Greenland ice mass is smaller than the measurement error. in other words it may be growing for all we know.
>probably
your hope for an 'I told you so' moment is disgusting.

Right, but we're not really in an interglacial period currently, we're in the transition period between an interglacial period and an ice age.

ice sheet mass estimates are extremely low quality, notoriously so

That would make it extremely easy to lie about "oy vey the world is coming to an end because muh ice sheets are melting"

I remember going to Glacier National Park in the US and they had a sign saying the glaciers would be gone by 2020. They are still there.

No such thing as a stable climate, familiarize yourself with the concept of dynamic stability, the climate has never been stable.

On long time periods the climate changes. On short time periods the climate is stable and glaciers don't change unless the planet is seriously out of equilibrium.

As in billions of tons of ice shouldn't be melting each year. Ice caps of "normal" levels of oscillation.

Thats completely wrong, interglacial periods are relatively brief and polar ice needs to decile rapidly during them otherwise all of the planet's water would eventually be locked up in the polar ice caps.
Over 100,000 years of polar ice accumulation needs to disappear during a 10,000 year long interglacial period for the world to have ended up as we currently see it.

wrong, the current rate is pretty much exactly the expected rate for an interglacial period

sauce, because that is counter to everything I'ver read and heard about it.

Polar ice sheets aren't melting, Greenland's has a net gain in mass. Same is true in the Antarctic.
They only melt near the coasts, where they're easier to measure, because thats where they come into contact with the liquid parts of the ocean and the ocean moderated climate.

they constantly change, they are a lagging indicator of the climate

Ice that was formed on glaciers during the little ice age over 150 years ago still hasn't completely melted. It'll be over a century before its all gone
