Wiki:
"World temperatures could rise by between 1.1 and 6.4 °C (2.0 and 11.5 °F) during the 21st century (table 3) and that:
* Sea levels will probably rise by 18 to 59 cm (7.08 to 23.22 in) [table 3]."

Of course you are correct if you meant 2 F
Oh, since you are eager to run numbers:
What's the total heat of doubling global CO2 and compare this to total heat needed to melt the arctic sea ice- that might be interesting.
But what be more interesting is comparing this total heat to raising this quantity of water by 1 C.
Why this is interesting is that if all polar ocean ice were to melt in one year, in that situation you are essentially adding that quantity of cold water to the deep ocean.
Do you see what I mean?
Isn't isn't a trick question, I have no idea what these quantities are.
And as to what mention in last post: the yearly average temperature of Glacier Bay Alaska:
5 Years from 1966 to '70: 40.4 F
5 years from 2003 to '07: 42.2 F

Nuuk (or Godthåb) is the capital and largest city of Greenland. It is located at the mouth of the Nuup Kangerlua (or in Danish "Godthåbsfjorden") inlet on the west coast of Greenland, about 240 km (150 mi) south of the Arctic Circle
...
Nuuk has a moderate polar climate with a yearly average temperature of −1 °C (30 °F). 18 °C (64 °F) is exceeded on average only once per year, with 24.2 °C (76 °F) being the highest recorded temperature and −29.5 °C (−21 °F) being the lowest

Nuuk looks fairly far south on the Island of Greenland- there is a map at wiki.
