According to Al Gore, the polar caps already melted about 10 years ago, so this is fake news.

10 feet?
That's actually substantial, comparred to the slow melt climate-change that would take centuries if not millenia. I'm still not sure it's enough though.

Perhaps I’m not a scientist but doesn’t ice expand when it’s frozen and then takes up less volume when it melts, if that’s true why wouldn’t ocean levels go down instead of up if that glacier melts

That glacier is on land. If it melts, it joins the ocean.
Floating ice has no effect on water level when it melts.

You are correct, but for a few problems. If I am not mistaken, the volume different is a few percent. It is not substantial. The main problem is that the glacier is currently mostly above the waterline, due to it’s connection to the antarctic continent. If it gets undermined and then falls in, 90%+ of it’s volume will be added to the sea (because ice has the higher volume, iceberg tips are above water due to buoyancy), and then as it melts all of the volume is added

Let me know when Obama sells his beachfront house, and the other elites stop flying their private planes. Until then, I am very confident that the climate change crisis is a fraud.

Evacuate Martha’s Vineyard, New York City, and Amsterdam before it’s too late.

If it breaks off, it will float.......If it breaks off, it will:
1) no longer be supported by land.
2) be driven into warmer waters where it will melt.
Land ice entering the ocean increases the amount of water in the ocean.

The earth is calculated to be only 0.5% water so what harm could a little extra water do? Just more fear porn.
