Which is true if when dealing with a free floating iceberg. It is not true regarding glacial ice that is not yet free floating (an iceberg.) Volumes of glacial ice currently moving across land that enter the sea will melt and eventually increase sea levels.
Lets hope that DC returns to a muddy marsh and produces something useful, like oysters or mussels.

It is not true regarding glacial ice that is not yet free floating (an iceberg.) Volumes of glacial ice currently moving across land that enter the sea will melt and eventually increase sea levels. The glacial ice that is lost is replenished by annual snow fall created from the atmospheric moisture from the evaporation of water in the oceans.
The claim now is that the Thwaites Glacier is shrinking due to global warming when the reality is that the continent of Antarctica only gets an average of 2 inches of precipitation each year. Antarctica is technically a desert, This is because the cold air simply can't hold much water.
