It’s too bad the ‘sculptures’ were not free FLOATING in a container of water.
Then the level of water could be observed NOT to change as they melted!
If ALL the ice; floating in the oceans of the North, were to melt; the total water level on earth might right 2-3 inches.
It’s the ice on LAND melting, that would cause the global oceans to raise.
Well actually floating ice wouldn’t change the ocean levels at all. Artic ice freezes and melts every year to no effect. If Greenland and Antarctica’s ice all melted, that would change the sea levels, but as they are both too cold to completely be ice free, melting away isn’t going to happen in any crisis mode. If we wanted to melt them, we have no way to do it. There isn’t enough man controlled energy to do it. So there’s no way SUVs and cow farts will do the job.
I wonder how much fossil fuel energy was used to create the two blocks of ice that were just a waste; instead of being used in a fine liquor beverage as ice should be?
