Go on, you can do it yourself.

Fill a glass to the brim, and then put ice in it.

Also, I don't think y'all are talking about the same thing

wouldn't it make sense that the ice would just replace itself when it melts?

that doesn't mean that there isn't more water in the oceans

it just means that the net amount of ice on antarctica stays roughly the same

So if the ice melted, and it was warmer that more ice started melting faster than it could freeze, which is what we are seeing in the Arctic, it would just be replaced as if by magic?

The fact that there is now plant material growing in the Antarctic is no indication that it is warming.

so you're saying that when ice melts

it somehow adds more mass

to the water

Holy sweet Lord, take a glass of water, fill it and then put ice in it.

The ice of Antarctica is ABOVE sea level.

It's on a continental shelf

So, if some cataclysm caused all the ice to fall off it most definitely *could* have such an impact.

Though the huge influx of cold water would probably show signs before the rising sea levels.

I see what you're saying

It doesn't apply to a glass of water though

when ice melts *in* water then the water level stays the same
~~I think~~

No

That's of the ice is *in* the water.

If you have a glass that is full and add ice the water is displaced until it equalizes.

So it would over flow.

Again, try it.

Take a glass, fill it, then put your ice in.

The water level will rise without a shadow of a doubt.

And the ice of Antarctica is mostly above the water.

It's like the full glass that you shove ice cubes into.

Of course none of us really know anything and can't fathom the depths of the knowledge we acquire, and ultimately it could turn out that God had absolute control the entire time and all we did was equal to nil.

Yes

I said I knew what you were saying

But yes, you're right. If all the ice was actually in the water, and not above it likely wouldn't have much of an impact on sea levels, just the temperature.

I confused what you said with what someone else said and I assumed something

But that's assuming the ice is of regular density at 1 atmosphere of pressure.

Nerd

What's the language in your name and what does it mean

Japanese, it means Curse Lord.

Noroi Dono

I mean

even ignoring global warming
