Hmmm. Why do ice cubes float?

[swain_forkbeard]

So does hot air. Coincidence?

[dblshot]

Exactly. Simple classroom experiment will demonstrate stupidity of the Polar ice Cap is melting and we're going to drown chicken littles. Float some ice cubes in a glass of water. Mark the level of the water. Let ice cubes melt. Mark the level of the water. What happened boys and girls?

Ah, but put some ice cubes on a ramp that will drain into the glass and do your experiment again. Don’t forget, there is not only water-based ice, but ice that is on land, as well. Some of that land-based ice will run directly into the oceans.
