sea levels will not rise due to melting ice

floating ice on water results in the same water level after the ice has melted.

A major Antarctic glacier has passed its tipping point, according to a new modelling study.
 Quoting: Witness_

The study went on to say "you better give us more grant money or global warming will melt your face off"

even if the glacier stuck out of the water hundreds of feet it would be the equivalent of an ice cube melting in a swimming pool.

Does a melting ice cube in a longdrink raises the level in the glass?



No. It's called the Archimedes Principle aka bouyancy.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 863742


This only applies to what's in the water, displacing volume.. If a glacier was say, half in and half out of the ocean for instance, the extra volume has to go somewhere if it melts..

That'd be because the icecube floats level with the water.. stick something in there, like an ice frosticle, that'll stick out of the glass and when it melts the glass content will increase.

A major Antarctic glacier has passed its tipping point, according to a new modelling study. After losing increasing amounts of ice over the past decades, it is poised to collapse in a catastrophe that could raise global sea levels by 24 centimetres.

Boah,

a lot of fools here. GLPlers think, scientists are handicapped?

I read ice in water - NO - it's on land.
I read only 10 percent - YES - otherwise it would 7 meters!
I read it's cooling - YES - read again! The glacier IS running. As if you could stop a train by telling there is no more gas available.

Fresh water that goes toward the Nth Atlantic current and doesn't sink as easy is also a factor. Our climate patterns play a role in maintaining a habitable climate on 90% of the Earth.
Changes in climate will see a bigger range in a shorter time causing crustal instability and a chain reaction.
Solid ground will be like liquid and non-uniform rotation will send solid granite shards the size of mountains spearing through the mantle and crust.

The sun has cooled to a point where it is dropping nuggets of matter that are about to be catapulted out through the solar system like a game of snooker with no pockets.

Learn to swim in boiling mud and develop a vice like grip to hold on and the next few months should be a breeze.

Look at the positives, if you live through the next two years you can write your own religion.

Don't listen to the media, look around you. Shit isn't right. People are scared and hungry. Aliens are taking the ones who are most vocal about ET existence first, baking them in black pudding pies and posting them home to their kin.

We are fucked.

Its not going to melt overnight. its going to take several years. And most will turn into water vapor and come back down as rain in other parts of the world. Global warming people don't tell you the truth because it won't put bread on the table. It's all about money period. Just like cancer reserch. The cure is there they just won't release it. It would put alot of people out of work.

About 12,000 years ago, during a past "2012" type shake down, there was a giant tsunami that ripped up the Pacific and left human bones, animal bones, and fish bones crammed into caves 180 ft. above sea level. These caves were in both Alaska and Siberia.

So this is no idle threat. They are actually down playing it.

Well the way I see it is this.

If its a massive glacier on land melting its normal. If its a massive glacier floating in the sea and its melting it will have no effect whasoever.

1.Ice in a glass add water let it melt
then
2.Add water to glass then add ice let it melt

what happens on each occasion?

It's a glacier, not an ice cube. The majority of the ice is above sea level at the moment...

But, if the western side is losing and the eastern side is growing, wouldn't the two be offset? I highly doubt a 21cm rise...these people are still screaming doom and warming, get a different hobby.

It's so interesting to see how when an iceberg is melting (which they have been doing since the big ice age) the statements put out by the studiers of said iceberg state. Then the drama it causes in the general public.

Just imagine what would have happened had the internet been around as well as the study of the shrinking of icebergs when the Great Lakes Icebergs were melting and moving. Sure panic I would imagine.

Is this phony like all the other "evience" the IPCC has used?

Here is another one of their hoaxes:

Article:

UN climate change panel based claims on student dissertation and magazine article


The United Nations' expert panel on climate change based claims about ice disappearing from the world's mountain tops on a student's dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine.
[link to www.telegraph.co.uk]



So based on a dissertation by a geography student we are all supposed to panic and pay massive taxes and alter our entire way of life?

I don't think so.
One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one.

Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.
