Same page: The main ice covered landmass is Antarctica at the South Pole, with about 90 percent of the world's ice (and 70 percent of its fresh water). Antarctica is covered with ice an average of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet) thick. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 61 meters (200 feet).

The ice floats on the Arctic Ocean. If it melted sea levels would not be affected.

There is a significant amount of ice covering Greenland, which would add another 7 meters (20 feet) to the oceans if it melted.

Water is most dense at 4 degrees Celsius. Above and below this temperature, the density of water decreases (the same weight of water occupies a bigger space). So as the overall temperature of the water increases it naturally expands a little bit making the oceans rise.

Global warming would make the oceans rise. But they aren't, so it isn't. RFKjr is a fool.

I have been out of action since Friday, but it seems that the talking points call for blaming GWB. Sen Mary Landrieu anf Gov. Blanco both of LA are blaming "Bush".

Whatever - time will tell ... RFK is a jerk anyway, he's no scientist ... seems all the Kennedy's have a fixation with water ....

This is almost as funny as when the geologists in "The Day After Tomorrow" blamed the Dick Cheney "VP" for the catastrophic climate change, as if 4 years of lowered emissions would have stopped a new ice age. Absolutely hilarious.

There must be a simple way to educate Americans about what a fraud "global warming" is, and to demostrate clearly how the Earth is in a re-warming trend inside a large cooling trend, one which led to a "Little Ice Age" around 300 years ago.

In stead it seems like we have completely ceded this critical issue to the anti-industrial Socialist Left.

Agreed. Thanks.

I know profanity is prohibited but this guy is just a plain old asshole.

Kennedy is indirectly postulating that big Hurricanes did not happen until after the Kyoto treaty was signed. That's actually pretty good by Kennedy standards. It's still a complete moronic bust.

Interestingly, we met the goals of the Kyoto protocols without the treaty being implemented and without any of the draconian regulations that would have been implemented supposedly to enforce it.
