the ice age disagrees

>>132746716

The Antarctic is a rocky plateau covered in ice. There is enough there to drown the world.

>>132746716
>What is the density anomaly of water?

You are forgetting that the rest of the seas will also expand when the globe gets warmer.

Also the ice below the water will not melt. For obvious reasons the ice above the water will melt first.

>>132746716
You're assuming there are ice caps to melt in the first place

>>132746996

To explain, the ice isn't in the water. It's on the rocks. Not to mention below the ice is enough methane gas to basically make Global Warming very very real (assuming you don't yet believe it).

>>132747177
Stop spreading disinformation, (((shill)))

>>132747016

If the methane escapes rapidly, it will super heat the water around the antarctic to tropical levels. It will cause a superstorm. I watched a lot of Discovery channel when I was a kid. That channel loves super storms.

>>132746996
I've seen it predicted that the ice is heavy and pushing down on the continent measurably, and were the ice to all melt and recede away, the pressure removed, the continent would push up slightly, which would displace more water.

No idea how valid that was.

The only thing that effects sea levels are tectonic upthrusts on the sea floor. The slab pull theory. Sea ice melting causes no change in sea levels for obvious reasons. Continental ice is so heavy on places like Antarctica that it compresses the continent. The mile thick ice sheets cause an increase in density that actually sinks the continent. This means that if that ice did melt, it wouldn't cause sea level rise

>>132747177
Gee well its a good thing antarctic ice has been expanding to record levels in recent years

>>132747517

I've heard the contrary my entire life. If that shit melts, bad things will happen. I can't even get results from searching to corroborate what you said. Going to have to ask you to bring proof.

>>132747835

This is true. Which could be equally spooky. You think all the ice melting is bad. Look up what happens if all the water freezes.

>>132747835
That's retarded. Think about it, if I have a glass of water with ice in it, the water is cold. If the oceans have a bunch of ice on the "caps" then wouldn't the ocean be way too cold to ever swim in?

That sounds Al Gore-tier retarded but materials are so strange at large scales it might be true. I guess.

>>132747485
That's bro science as fuck

>>132748125

It is too cold. It also contains a lot of salt which lowers the freezing temperature. It has to be below 28'F (-2'C) to start freezing.

>>132746716

Anon is referring to the molecular structure of ice vs the one of water right? The same way if you leave a bottle in the cooler for extreme temperatures, the bottle snaps..

It may not be so because the ice stays on top and some floats. The volume above the surface does not displace or add to the volume of water.

>>132748333

>*with extreme temperatures

>>132748265

Before you say it's like -50 in the Arctic. The air temperature is, but ocean currents keep the water temperature above freezing for the most part.

OP needs to think harder and pick up a Jr high textbook.

>>132748018
It's simple. Look at the lifecycle for volcanic island in the south Pacific. As more volcanic material piles up, the island itself begins to sink, until it becomes just an atol and eventually sinks into the sea. It's the same idea

It remains the same since that same ice is already displacing he water. Ice melts, nothing happens.. Climate changers are colossal retards, plain and simple.

>>132747177
Bullshit. Only methane potentially dangerous to our climate is trapped in the sediments on the bottom of the sea. Humans have no effect whatsoever if it will release down there or not.

>>132747177

>Global Warming

Fuck you fucking Climate fags. It's been the coldest summer here for fucking decades and we even made a new record by having 5cm of snow in fucking july.

I fucking hope for global warming at this point so melt all the shit away

God this is stupid.

First of all most of the worlds ice is on land, ie antartica. if it melts, the ocean rises

second of all
FUCKING DISPLACEMENT

floating ice will not increase the volume of the water it floats in when it melts

water is about 8% less dense when frozen.

an object must displace equivalent mass of a liquid to float in it.

when you see ice floating on water the part above the water is this 8% discrepancy.

when you melt the ice floating in water there is absolutely 0 net change to the volume of the water

Proof:
https://youtu.be/aOCqHRpQh88

I'm not too worried about the actual flooding, move to afucking hill you plebs.

What worries me is all this 'fresh' (non salt) water melting and fucking up the currents due to desalinization. Move the NAD a few degrees east, and suddenly Europe looks like Leafland/Siberia.

Its already cold enough in the UK, don't make us cold wet and more miserable.

>>132748096
>oh no all da ice is meltin. Panic!
>oh no its actually exapanding. Thats even worse!
Is the climate supposed to be some stagnant, never-changing phenomenon? It doesn't take a degree in climatology to see the glaring holes in the global warming meme. The whole thing is falling apart at an increasing pace. Evidence is stacking up against it as the faulty climate projection charts fail over and over, the causes of the institutional failure that allowed smart people to fall for the meme are becoming more clear, a and the agenda of the corrupt forces that have pushed the scam is becoming obvious. Americans are going to be proven right yet again

Huh makes sense - but I dont know much on climate science. It pisses me that the cunts cant even work shit out. I am STEM postgrad and knowing my stats I made 10s of 1000s of bucks off the Trump election knowing he would win. Never gambled in my life until then but I saw the data and knew he would win. The question I always have is how the fuck can they be so fucking wrong all the time? The data is there: it is like sheep fiddling with a dataset. As a scientist I dont trust scientists.

Not only does the land ice contribute to rising sea levels, as the temperature of water rises due to increased CO2 levels, the thermal expansion of water increases, causing higher rise of sea levels plus acidification of the ocean as more CO2 gets dissolved into the ocean i.e. carbonic acid.

What do you study? You finished your phd/masters?

>>132749544
You don't take into account the plasticity of oceanic crust over geologic time that actually deforms and sinks due to continental ice shelf forming

>>132750211
You said in your volcano example, that when the new material comes out and forms rocks, it pushes the old rock underground and subducts the crust. But that volcanic rock is at least 2-3 times more dense than the ice. Even if it will have an impact on oceanic crust subduction, I don't think it will be to the same impact as a volcano creating new land. What do you think?

>>132750658
It is enough weight to press down the continent. Antarctica is the lowest lying continent if the ice was scraped off. Also the continent rebound is measurable because the north ice sheet almost completely melted 8000 years ago.

>>132752071
What I don't get is, if the land ice melted from Antarctica, it would reduced the weight off the continent as the melted ice slow distributes its way to neighbouring oceans.

How would it keep pressing down the continent if that ice melts away and gets redistributed?

>>132752415
Also I can't type for shit right now, need sleep.

How much thermal energy is it going to take to melt all that ice?

>>132752415
That's a geophysics question. Rock is plastic when on the surface over geologic time. The rock closer to the mantle that the continental and oceanic crust sits on is almost like silly putty also. If the ice were to disappear in a day, which it wouldn't, the rate at which the rock returned to equilibrium would be exponential at first, then a point of diminishing return would occur.

>>132746716
You didn't think this out for youreslf you faggot.

also this:

>>132754110
But how does that address the issue of the water distributing to other areas, reducing coastlines, flooding areas, etc.? So if that mass of water pushed down on the land on a large time scale, the coastlines will shrink more and sink the land. Is that not the issue?

>>132754582
The ice is never going to melt fast enough for any noticeable rise in sea level to look occur that takes place over the resettling of the continent from which the ice sheets melted

>>132754582
Here's my question. If melting and freezing earth are the main drivers of sea level, why was earth once completely covered in water? The scientists who have made models which do not reflect the geologic reality show that even if all ice melted, most of our landmasses would stay above water. Then where did the extra water that made our planet a waterworld millions of years ago come from?

>>132755211
The reverse to the questioon also stands. When sea levels were much lower and places like dogger bank were exposed, what accounts for this drop in sea level? These are much more dramatic shifts than what could be locked up in ice

>>132746716
Experiment. Get a glass of water, put some ice in it. Measure it, make a mark. Wait till ice melts, measure again. Now pour some more water in it and realize that is what will actually happen, because a great deal of the ice is NOT in the water anyway...

Retard alert.

Ice sinks to a level where it displaces the same volume of water as the volume if its entire mass.

Melting ice will never lower the water level, it can only increase the water level as it sits on rocks above the surface.

I don't like anime either but OP has a valid question. You did not even offer an argument.

>>132756338
The vast majority of Arctic Ice is actually below sea level.
It's not just floating on top like a few light icecubes in a glass.
