46. Well, things are moving faster than they thought. Not surprising to
me. Here is a reference but I'll have to dig some more to find the studies:

http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=4760

The pertinent paragraph:

Studies initially stated that while the melting of the world’s glacial ice was in progress and accelerating, the time frame of a total meltdown had not been established. Now, with more intensive studies, this period has dropped from an initial estimate of a thousand years to a hundred and finally, the most recent calculations predict that if the accelerating melt rate continues, both in Greenland, Antarctia and elsewhere (Swiss and Chinese glaciers are rapidly vanishing and their waters are pouring into the world’s oceans) the time frame has been lowered from between three to ten years.
