– Polar Ice and Rising Sea levels

727 viewsOtherPlanetary Science

OK, I’ve always had trouble with this idea. As far as I’ve ever known, when you drop ice in a glass of water, the ice already displaces an amount of water equal to the amount of water in the ice. So as it melts, it won’t cause the water to suddenly overfull the glass. So what’s different about the polar ice that makes it so that it will raise the sea level if it’s already floating in the sea to begin with?

The best thing in my mind at the moment is to say fuck to all this scare mongering until a new stupid religion comes around which does not believe in the first one.
