If all the ice melted at both the North and South Poles and
all known glaciers melted, the ocean would only rise a few inches!

If all the ice at the North Pole melted, sea levels wouldn’t change. That ice floats.
If all the Antarctic and Greenland ice melted, sea levels would rise by around 200 feet.

It should be noted that since the last ice age, sea levels have already risen almost 400 feet, with not a shred of human intervention. It is unsurprising that the trend is continuing today.
Absolutely silly.
Everyone knows that the continents are just floating 'plates' that bobble around on the ocean surface. These tectonic plates would just rise as the water melted. I often wondered why we didn't just take a bunch of tugboats to Hawaii and tow it a little closer to the U.S. Sure would make vacationing a little cheaper.
Ice in my cup takes up MORE space than the water it melts into.
So - if all the ice on the poles melted, wouldn’t that mean that the water level should drop?
It’s a valid a theory as “Man Made/Caused Global Warming/Climate Change”
