"As ice sheets melts, the gravity around Earth will change as the planet loses mass, causing some areas to see higher or lower sea level rise than the global average."

Stupid people will believe this stupid reporterette. The stupid is very high with this one.

So ice is heavier then water.

Really?

When the ice melts, it will cool down the average temperature of the water as the water circulates around the globe, thereby giving rise to global cooling. /s

Yesss. Ya’ see, that’s why ice always floats on the surface.....ah....er... never mind.

The planet can change mass according to the physical state of water? That's news to me!

You must have studied those inconvenient science fact thingies.

However, the most important line in the excerpt is:
“It has a very low probability.”

I’ve been thinking of another way to debunk the Globull Gloaming creepozoids and their 97% crap. How about 97% of the scientists who take government handouts agree with the government propaganda that the Earth is warming due to humans.

They cannot predict weather accurately out 24 hours. The Snowmageddon in Atlanta never happened, same with the flash-flood downpour predicted a few days back.

“US government scientists warned even more sea level rise is expected by century’s end than previously estimated, due to rapid ice sheet melting at the poles.”

Just wait until they have to prove this theory and show their work. I really want to know just how many Island nations have slipped beneath the waves due to the rise of sea level. Atlantis does not count

She may have gotten that from the “scientists” which explains a lot about their ability to theorize.

Wow.. that’s like saying it’s going to be somewhere between 40 and 60 degrees in Knoxville today.

More like so far off the scale that the scale fell to pieces ...

What's all this nonsense about sea level rising 2100 feet??

Yes as the water and air cool, they will rise into the atmosphere and escape into space as gravity drastically lessens — wait, diets will become a thing of the past as everyone will be much lighter. Oh Yes! Bring it!

Well, what's a person supposed to do. Global warming has been going on for 20,000 years that we know about.

12,000 years ago there was a mile of ice over New York and sea levels were 150 feet below where they are today.

Conclusion: Seaside real estate is probably priced too high.

Hurrah! More water! ...

And with all the frozen planets in the galaxy, ain’t it grand to be on a moderately warm one...

No, but it collects at the poles. Because of centrifugal force caused by the earth's rotation ocean water collects on the equator, which will cause a measurable effect on the earth's gravitational field, and some small effect on its rotation rate. The J2 gravitational harmonic will increase. As mass moves from the poles to the equator, the moment of inertia will increase, and due to preservation of angular momentum, the rate of rotation will decrease, slightly.

After seventy two years, eight months and twenty six days on this planet I conclude that the accuracy of weather predicting DECREASES at a rate of .354321069 percent per annum. At this rate a prediction of a high temperature of ninety seven degrees on July four will result in a forty seven inch snowfall in Miami. The science is settled dadgummit.

This is but another obama failure. In eight years he should have lowered the sea level by 8.3 feet which would have allowed the necessary slack for the 8.2 foot predicted rise.
