“When temperatures on Earth get hotter, huge amounts of water ice trapped in giant glaciers begin to thaw, releasing water into the oceans, and causing sea levels to rise.”
Oh, that must be why when the ice melts in my drink, the glass gets fuller! Except that it doesn’t. SCIENCE!! Of course, I’m granting them that the ice is actually melting, which is a rather large concession.
So the science wasn’t settled?
L
Wouldn’t the mass glaciation result in higher salinity
in the remaining body of sea water?
Isn’t there some way to detect this ?
It never is...................
Only sea ice does that glaciers are mostly on land hence they are not displacing water so yes they would raise sea levels
Who would have thunk that something that everyone in the field knew was a fact is not a fact. As Reagan said, “Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
“Unexpected “
“Follow the science!!!”
Science does not get “unsettled” until the old scientists die.
;-)
Put 6 ice cubes on aluminum foil and let them thaw into your full cup and see if it runneth over.
You're conflating glaciers, which form on land, and icebergs floating at sea. A floating iceberg melting won't change the water level, but a glacier located on land, melting into the sea, will change the water level.
Science is never settled, if you ask me...but what do I know? lol
You could still walk from France to England, from Europe to Asia via the Bosporus, Saudi Arabia to Iran, India to Sri Lanka, Malaysia to Sumatra and Borneo, and New Guinea to Australia.
How much would the 47 foot difference shrink Florida?
Groundwater from deep aquifers drain into the oceans, as well as fresh water springs welling up. Together they may account for a mm or more of sea level rise, just what the warmists think is caused by climate change.
The old scientists control the grant money.
That is why so much progress can be made after they die.
And icebergs are mostly in the oceans...................
what you are saying is technically true, but what they are referring to is ice trapped in glaciers on land. So to use your example get two glasses of ice and melt them one representing the ice in the ocean and the other the ice on the land trapped in glaciers. Then after melting both, pour the one into the other.
