So from the second link....."We estimated that a delivery rate of 180 blocks per hour was required from level 50 to level 74 and then used this rate to determine if the ramp size and number of crews were feasible. This seemed possible. We then determined that at the lower level the ramp would be wider and could sustain delivery rates twice this number. Above level 75 the delivery rate drops off because of the smaller number of blocks, so ramp size and crew numbers are reduced. The size of crews can be estimated in various ways.
Peter it's good you have a something on the water required...we can work out how many cubic miles of ice needed.
I will look at it later.

According to Wiki, Greenland has 2,850,000 cubic kilometres of ice. My best estimate to get a sea level rise of 10 metres, we need to melt half of that in 24 hours.....
Highly unlikely.....
