Can’t we send it on rockets to the moon and store it there ‘til we need it?

I put ice in a glass. I fill the glass to the top. When the ice melts does the glass overflow?

Not only does it overflow, it drowns any nearby polar bears!

Hmm, maybe the libs will give me a billion dollars if I promise to build a giant coffer dam to save NYC or LA for them?

Why should Al Gore be the only one to profit from this foolishness?

much of the glacier is already underwater; its melting will have no effect on sea level.

If any of the glacier is resting on the bottom, this is not true. Obviously a sufficiently large piece of ice will overflow a glass of water when it melts.

GOOD NEWS!

I HAVE JUST COMPLETED MY OWN STUDY!

This just in, Due to the increased extraction of oil from Deep Ocean Drilling Rigs, The Ocean Bottom will subside to such a degree to completely off-set the collapse of this Glacier.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! Go Oil!

Glaciers have been melting for 6,000 years. May be Obola will make an arc to rescue all gay animals. And there will be only one toilet.

The seas will rise to engulf Mt Everest I tell you is what the leftists scream. The sea levels have risen since the end of the last ice age when the big glaciers melted. The sea levels rose abut 400 ft, but in the last two hundred years the rise is not really measurable.

“Are we all going to die again?”

Everybody living today is guaranteed to die. It might take another 150 years, but we will all be dead. But disaster porn is profitable.

If there is enough ice so that its weight causes it to rest on the bottom of the glass instead of floating, then when the ice melts the glass will overflow.

I was referring to the melting of the part underwater.
