Much is made of ocean volume increasing as temperature increases, but won’t the earth’s crust also expand if it is heated?

The concern is melting ice from land like Greenland and Antarctica adding to the sea volume. Not a concern over expansion of the same amount of water due to temp rise.

It’s all part of the Global sam.....the Warmists are meeting in RIO....

Actually its both. Because so much ice would have to melt to raise sea levels, they get a lot of their instant sea level rise from this concept of expansion.

I like to ask libtards how increasing Antarctica’s mean interior temperature of -70 F by a few degrees is going to cause the massive ice sheet melt off, especially at the rates required (thousands of feet in thickness) to reach the sea-level rise they predict.
