yes Marsoups. Ice molecules are lighter (slightly larger) than water molecules. That's why the ice cube in your glas, or the ice berg in the ocean does'nt sink to the bottom. When a cubit foot of ice turns to water, the resulting water has less volume than the ice had. REGARDS APOLO
simple physics would tell you that since ice displaces its own weight in water, melting icebergs would not affect sea-levels. that's for floating ice. for the polar ice caps, any highschool boy would know that the arctic/antarctic ice caps are NOT "large sheet(s) of ice floating in the water". there's a land continent beneath all these ice. and when the ice melts, water levels would rise.
ok, well , besides the fact that global warming may be an evolutionary trend, what are we going to do about the carbon emmisions, especially now that forest growth is decreasing and the oceans biological eco-system is becoming unstable ?
Nothing. If forestation decreases, there is no way to mitigate that. WE MUST INCREASE VEGETATION, OR ELSE! es
