My ice maker is working just fine.

Is the ice melting or is it increasing in volume? Can't have it both ways.
Wanna bet they can't?
Liberal science. It doesn't have to make sense.
This has implications, alright. Alot of media, proffesorship and pundit jobs are on the line if this global warming stuff isn't true.
If you can't blind them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull shat.
Ice shelves in Antarctica are floating. Melting of floating ice does not increase sea levels.
Bird flu will kill millions. Some day. For sure. Maybe.
But, sound the alarm! Oh, and send money.
"Predicted increases in precipitation due to warmer air temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may actually increase sea ice volume in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean."
I think they mean floating ice in the sea as warming causes ice around the edges to break off.
Why would ice melting cause the sea level to rise? Ice takes up more room than water. When the ice in my tea melts the glass doesn't overflow. :^)
Further pushing comes from "Day After Tomorrow". In the 70s and 80s it was the ozone layer diminishing with the push by EPA for businesses to make really costly changes even down to spray cans elimination. Now this.
I thought SARS was supposed to do that.
Maybe its an unknown species of giant animal causing it, just like the new science fiction series "Surface", which is on NBC I think. (I saw some episodes on Sci-Fi).

Archimedes principle: don't bathe with Greeks.
"Why would ice melting cause the sea level to rise? Ice takes up more room than water. When the ice in my tea melts the glass doesn't overflow. :^)"
Because the ice is above sea level.
If you put enough ice cubes in a glass so that the top ones are above the liquid level then the liquid level will rise as the ice melts.
My ice maker is working just fine.
Global Warming is an all-knowing all-doing disaster. Every effect of global warming is negative. Every type of natural disaster is made worse because of global warming. It makes places too dry, drier, and it makes places that are too wet, wetter. Never underestimate the power of global warming.
You got it right. I saw a scientist on TV demonstrate the same principle. He had a bowl filled with ice and added water to the top of the bowl's rim. If the global warming fear mongers are correct, that water should have overflown the bowl as the ice melted. Didn't happen. Read Michael Crichton's book, State of Fear, and a lot of this Antarctica stuff is debunked. No mention at all about the Solar storms and how the ice is melting on Mars, too. Maybe the methane from all our cows is permeating up to other planets???
If sea levels start rising, we'll hear about it from folks on the coasts first.
Do not taunt global warming.
For me it's simply "thermohaline circulation" changes. The problem is determining the cause(s).
