Even though this icy crust is melting, this will have no direct effect on sea levels, just as Archimedes would have predicted: this is the same reason that melting ice cubes leave the level of a drink unchanged.

Damn it! I was hoping global warming would rid us of New York once and for all!

I guess this means that all the carping about rising sea levels was BS all along, huh? So then "Water World" was just a movie, not a prophecy? Obviously the editors didn't catch this little crack in the "global warming" mythology.

The other part that makes no sense that has been appearing in the pseudo-science of global warming lately, is that with the polar ice caps melting, they create a darker surface area that enhances global warming even more. That said, how did we get polar ice caps in the first place? These guys continually paint themselves into a corner with these creative lies, but they're never made to answer for them.

Unfortunately, if all of the ice at both poles melted completely, they have estimated that the oceans would be only 6-7" deeper. Sorry, yer still gonna be stuck with New York, San Francisco, and L.A.!

I believe that floating ice that melts will not increase the sea level. However, when ice melts off of land, that will increase the amount of water in our oceans and, presumably, increase sea levels. By how much, I have no idea...
