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.
whats was he saying ?

Yeah, if the antarctic interior was around 500 storeys high!! Now who made such a preposterous claim?? Oh yeah............the Norwegian Polar Institute...a group entirely dependant on continuing funds to continue their invaluable computer modelling bunkum. Jeez, only a complete cretin would take this piffle at face value. Who started this thread? Oh yeah........now the mystery is unravelled!Even a 1 per cent loss of that ice could raise sea levels by 65cm (25in), the Norwegian Polar Institute said yesterday.

Andy2, you must have missed a couple or three lessons at school. If you went to a comprehensive, then my commiserations, but surely they taught you this stuff, as it is quite basic. Think on Archimedes, you maybe had a picture of a bearded Greek guy to colour in one day.Originally posted by Andy2 View Post
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.

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.

Archimedes just didn't like silversmiths, he liked to get them topped so he made it all up.Originally posted by threaded View Post
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
