Won't the melting ice just displace itself?
In the Arctic, yes. In the Antarctic, the ice is mostly glacial, resting on a continent.
There's land under that thar ice, unlike the arctic cap......so no, it wouldn't just displace itself.
"Won't the melting ice just displace itself?"(ET(end tyranny))
I often thought about this and asked similar questions and I have yet to get a perfect answer. Isn't frozen water approx. 10 times the volume of liquid water (like when a beer in the freezer pops when frozen or why we use radiator fluid)? Aren't the ice caps mostly floating and displacing water? If they melted could the net effect be that the ocean levels don't change at all because it's weight and volume are already accounted for?
The article is BS though, we have no idea what is going on in the Universe that our Earth is a part of. Our science and technology are great, but we have hardly scratched the surface yet.
