I still don’t buy that if it all melted the seas would rise... some goes into the ground.. some into the air, some into the sea..

even if it did, continents always shift.. coastlines change. big deal.

Also, ice that is in the water does not add to the water level when it melts. Put a few ice cubes in a glass and fill it with water. As the ice melts, the water does not overflow the rim. If anything, the level will decrease as the air trapped in the ice is released into the atmosphere, thus reducing the volume.

The main point is that in most places where “the scientists” inform the public that ice is decreasing (Antarctica, Greenland) they are intentionally leaving out the fact that the ice may be reducing on one part of the continent (the western slope of Antarctica, e.g.), but it is increasing on other parts (the eastern slope of Antarctica, e.g.). The last I checked, there was a net gain in ice coverage in Antarctica. I’d have to recheck that to make sure it is still accurate. There was also substantial ice gains on other parts of Greenland.

This is the type of deceptive misinformation Leftist scientists employ and that Bjorn Lomberg has done such an excellent job in revealing (in the Skeptical Environmentalist), and for which he has been demonized and ostracized by the scientific Left.
