I must confess that I am starting to harbour serious doubts.
I doubt that I will be able to drink ten cans tonight so I might just have nine instead.

Even a 1 per cent loss of that ice could raise sea levels by 65cm (25in), the Norwegian Polar Institute said yesterday.

The Wilkinson ice shelf is floating. If it melts the sea levels will not change by anything at all.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

lol. spot on. plus andy, its already melted , best put yer armbands on.
Heres an interesting one - if none of the ice at the poles melted, sea levels would lower by a foot every year as the ice piles up due to precipitation.
Melting ice is vital for our survival.

Anyway is the entire Wilkinson shelf floating, that would make a difference. If it is not all floating then surely melting would actually decrease sea levels due to density changes (assuming the ice and the ocean were a continuous body).
If the body is floating then it makes not a jot of difference, if it is not floating then it is required that the non floating part must be > 10% more than any submerged part due to the the relative densitys - i.e. water takes up about 10% less volume than ice thus if it melts it can either melt in place if it is not floating or take up the same volume if it is floating.
In any event polar ice only makes up about 2% of water on the planet. 97% is in the oceans.
I sure as hell can't get my head round this ice melting = sea levels rise like hell.Comment
