I just assumed you were a Simpleton rightie and thought Moveon was talking about a floating iceberg melting, making the ocean rise. I was just trying to be helpful, making it extremely simple for you righties to see, Moveon was talking about melting Glacier ice, that is above sea level. melting and entering the ocean, making it rise. it's good to hear you say, you understand about water displacement. just back up and read your post where you replyed to Moveon's post and you should see where you had me confused.
I understand how you got confused, and I read MoveON's post.....I also read the article,, and reread it......

And then pulled out this little tidbit.........

"
If the whole glacier system melts, Joughin says, it would raise global sea levels about 24 inches (60 centimeters), he adds. The process will take a while, roughly 200 to 900 years, Joughin and colleagues estimate, depending on how fast temperatures rise and how much snow falls in the area.
"

So, let me get this straight...........if the entire freakin glacier.....meaning ALL of the Thwaites glacier on Antarctica's Amundsen Sea melts, then worldwide sea levels would raise 24 inches.

Now, the doom and gloom folks love to play with absolutes. Do you really think the entire freakin glacier system there is going to melt. If you do, I have a land mass on the moon to sell you.

No matter, lets tax the living **** out of people and spend multiple trillions of dollars on this because it is OBVIOUS that gubment spends our money extremely effectively.

I don't even know why I try......

Later,
