10. Maybe I need to clarify something.

Since you seem to have missed it, I'll post the whole thing again: (emphasis in bold).

which isn't liable to have much of an immediate impact, btw, at least in the way of more than what's already been observed.

I'll let you off the hook since you're one of the nicer posters here, but please do be more careful when reading people's statements instead of jumping to conclusions right away, as you did here.

However, though, with that said, looking back on it, I do apologize for not being clear enough(sorry about that. Sometimes my brain works faster than my ability to correct myself): what I meant to say was, while the completed melting out of Arctic ice(first ice-free period, that is)will certainly amplify the problems up there at some point, I'm personally not convinced that additional notable impacts, on top of problems that are already occurring, will necessarily be immediate.

Perhaps I'll edit my earlier statement to reflect what I intended to say to avoid further confusion(hey, better to admit a mistake and correct it than to ignore it, right?)
