I dont... I'm not sure that'd work

hard to say, might depend on the composition of the comets and the specifics of the impact zones? i dunno.

Consider this: if all the ice in the world melted into the seas, the oceans would only rise about 65 meters. To get kilometers of sea level rise, you would need the entire Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets worth of comets, several times over.
That's going to cause more issues than just flooding.

Anybody have the Earth map for the 65 meter sea level rise?

Duh, thanks.

Have another, just since you asked. Interactive too.

If that many comets hit the north pole, we'd just all be dead, user.
Earthquakes and tsunamis would throw every city in the world to the ground, and there would likely be a cloud of dust that would block out the sun for a long time.
You're talking about comets with enough volume to displace 10s of millions of square kilometers of water. Shit, it would probably just blast the world to fucking pieces at that point. These comets you're proposing have to be COMICALLY large. Like, unironically a small moon.

Biggest loss is St. Petersburg, most of Russia still fine. Siberia improved, even, has new sea.
