Al Gore told me that global warming was causing the arctic ice cap to
melt and the ocean is going to rise 20 feet.
Last night I mixed a drink in a tall glass with lots of ice. I left
it sit too long and the ice melted but the glass did NOT overflow. In
fact the liquid level was the same!
What's wrong here? (besides ruining a perfectly good drink)
Thanks
Gordon

Maybe that idiot Gore should have said "Antarctic" instead of Artic.
True that the arctic ice sits atop the ocean. But, the Antarctic ice
mostly sits atop a continent.

What I find puzzling is this business with the ice cores. They drill
deep in the Arctic and the Antarctic and go way way back close to a
million years to find out the composition of the atmosphere way back
when. If levels of CO2 were often much higher way back then how come the
ice stayed around while all that was going on but is going to melt now?

There is not one single human-caused global warming advocate who can
explain this glaring fault in their logic.

How can they get the composition of the atmosphere for a million years
when it is a known fact that the earth is only 6000 years old. Read that
in the paper this morning, not off the internet.

Yeah. That's what I was trying to say.

The Global Warming Crisis (tm) is not a matter of science, but of faith.

Actually, the gradual rise in sea level exactly matches the rise in
the number of boats on the sea! (If you don't believe that just ask me!)
Therefore, all you sailors are direct contributors and should be ashamed!

Rubbish!

It is directly due to the pollution of the oceans by modern industrial
waste and agricultural chemofertilsers which have drastically reduced
the sponge population.

Phylum Porifera are very sensitive to pollutants.

If the ice is floating (depends on what
you're drinking ;-)) then the glass will
not overflow when the ice melts.
Especially if you taste the drink from
time to time to relieve the boredom of
the experiment.

But if the ice is on land and it melts
and drains into the sea (or the glass)
then a rising water level might be seen.
Maybe?
