The problem is that the Ice Shelves that would break off within 5 years would cause a rise in sea level around 10 feet from multiple ice shelves following the one starting to break off now.

So, imagine where you live on earth on the coast the sea level rising 10 feet. this is just the level of the ocean and not waves or rollers that come in on top of this during storms!

The Thwaites ice shelf holds back other ice shelves and it would create a 2 foot rise in sea levels just from the displacement of water it would cause worldwide. But, it's the other ones that would also go that the Thwaites glacier holds back that would bring it up to 10 feet sea level rise worldwide possibly within 10 or more years from now.
