always wondered what the panic was with rising sea levels and stuff... if you put ice in a glass of water and let it melt the level doesn't change... I dunno... 🤔

Again, I hope you're joking.

There are two problems :

1 Sea water has salt in it. When it freezes the ice is pure water, which is less dense, leading to a percentage of the ice floating ABOVE the water (i believe 20%).

2 - There are chunks of ice which aren't on the water, but instead build off of land masses.

yes Victor.. just joking a little.. but I've heard that argument before... had to repeat it.. 🤣


I don't think it's gonna happen in the next few decades tho... 🤐

Who know. I don't personally care... but if you have kids it may be of significance to you.

Some people have advanced to the point of arrogance that they believe they can control the coming and going of ice ages. To them I say, send me your money.

I'm guessing that with the significant amount of water which would have to be released to make the antarctic a tropical rainforest again.... well, your house might be underwater HD.

What's the argument here?

Drafter is correct, in that the melting ice (assuming we mean icebergs only) won't have any impact on the ocean levels. Just as melting ice cubes have no effect on water level in a glass.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
Zilch.

But if the global temps rise, it won't affect icebergs alone. Land based ice from polar regions and especially glaciers would add to the sea levels when they melt or fall into the ocean (often in the form of new icebergs).

Some say the ocean will also rise due to thermal expansion, but this is a tricky one since water will both expand and contract with a rise in temperature depending on how cold it is. Water above 4 degrees C will expand with rising temperatures, but water below this will actually contract with a rise in temperature. And the water in the arctic and the antarctic is almost always below this. So the "global warming" would have to exclude the polar regions if thermal expansion were to have a significant effect.

It's important to understand the facts as they exist in context.
