Proof of the sea level will not change when the ice caps are melting!
polar ice caps floating in the ocean and melting is not whats gonna make the worlds water level rise...its when land based glaciers melt into the ocean ...thats whats gonna cause all the trouble ....so for your next test try stacking enough ice cubes into the glass so that two or three cubes are suspended above the water line then see what happens oh ya ur an idiot

Florida has some of the cleanest water in the nation because the water supply is filtered thru a natural aquafier system. Your water was probably dirty because you don't clean your glass after using them you pig.
By Voices in my head 1185136644 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removesamowen is right...polar ice caps that are in the ocean will not raise water lever because they're weight is already displaced in the water...when it melts it's just going to fill that weight gap with water...glaciers haven't been displaced in our ocean water so when those melt the sea level rises. think of placing just ice cube in one glass.. and water in another...when the ice cubes melt and u add the melted water to the other glass...it's gonna raise the water level.
Right === Level will rise due to LAND ICE
Wrong === Fill that weight gap with water
Actually after filling the gap with MELTED SEA ICE, the level will decrease. Remember we are most concerned about VOLUME here. If the weight of the displaced volume of water is more than the weight of the body (here ice) the body will float, the same way as ice is floating. So, as the weight of ice is lesser than the displaced water, after melting it will fill lesser volume. But, when the LAND ICE melts, i am sure it is going to create hell of havoc. :-(
I agree, ice caps in the oceans melting will actually decrease sea levels because ice is less dense than water (ice=0.92g/mL, water=1g/ml and salt water is even denser). But when land based glaciers melt the sea level will rise, and for most glaciers 10% of the mass is above water, so take that into consideration and water levels are going to rise even with the ocean based glaciers.
By rohitss 1173720938 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebut even melted, ice that was floating will not raise the water level. it displaces its mass, not its volume. but good thinking anyway.

By nichill333 1172671236 Reply Spam [+4] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeapply that same idea about overstacking the ice to the oceans and the frozen glaciers, and you would be talking about there being 2-3 times more water on the planet in the form of ice than in the oceans.
it's a good argument if you are talking about flooding a cup, but int the scale of the planet... that would likely cause the sea level to rise up to the mountaintops
because of the atmosphere pressure pushing the ice down

Your 100% right on this one, one thing this guy doesnt know is that, 3/4 is under water( i dunno exact amount, no one does), so only 10% is seen above the surface, so fill your glass up, so that the ice cubes form a mountain like structure above the rim of the glass, then watch it melt and make a mess, same thing that will happen if it does happen, create a big mess

By Sh1tba6 1178679162 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe sea level is where the water was B4 the ice was put in. The WATER level raised when u put the ice in.

Nice try, but not all the ice is free floating as in your example. Now do it again with the ice in the glass and some ice suspended above the water line (as in reality) and you will see a increase.
Melting Icebergs == Not a threat (as your example shows)
Melting Ice off Land == Problem
most of the ice is above the water! when it melts, then it will be in the ocean.

I'll keep my point simple. Humans, and the greenhouse effect, may not be the sole cause of the problem. But given the environmental havoc we are creating on the planet, it doesn't seem like to far of a leap to say we are having an impact on the warming issue. It's like a house. Most people probably keep them reasonably clean and it requires an effort. A similar effort should be made with the planet.

You can see that it is DRY ICE, because of the crap that it leaves in the water, normal ice does not do that....
I really hate people that have to fake stuff to try to prove their points....
So.....your myth of busting global wwarming...has been BUSTED!
It's proportions, dudes. Let's assume the temperature rises so that the 'landmass ice' melted. Proportionately, the temperature would also have to be warmer enough to cause more water to evaporate and be kept in vapor form. So again, it balances out and would not cause the sea levels to rise.
Not unless the 'water cycle' we learned in grade school suddenly developed a sentient mind of its own and became selective over how it affects the water--being warm enough to melt additional water but not also being proportionately warm enough to keep more water in vapor form.
Maybe in Dimension 13, but not here.
its not the ice in the water its the ice floating above+in land, the sea level will rise, scientists have been debating this for some time now did you realy think you would settle it over some ice in a F**king cup lol

So what this person has demonstrated is that when chunks of ice fall into water, the water level rises. They have essentially shown that flooding will occur because the water level was lower before the ice was put in the glass. New ice/snow is going to break off and fall into the water and that will raise sea level just as the ice did in the glass. On behalf of all who are on the other side of the argument about global warming, thank you for proving our point.

By lazy_j 1172965881 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe level of the water in the glass depends on the volume of the ice that is "already Inside" the water...
But the polar ice is not only inside the sea...but on the earth as well...the volume of the polar ice is not added to the one of the sea....when it will melt it will add an extra volume...
Sorry for my english...I hope you to understand...
Note, salt water (i.e. the oceans) has a higher density that fresh water. Archimedes principle states that a floating body will displace the same mass (not volume) of fluid in which it is floating. If the fluid is denser than the floating body, less fluid will be displaced (level of fluid) than if the fluid was less dense, like fresh water.
So proportionally speaking as soon as the volume of ice (fresh water) is melted it will take up more space than the volume of salt (denser) water that it had displaced to float. So the rise in the water level would be proportional to the relative densities of salt water vs fresh water (as in melted ice).
I wouldn't have caught that one. Very good point. I bet the change in salinity would cause a lot more damage than the density decrease would though.

By aelwero 1173284137 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou forgot something. The south polar ice-cap isn't floating on the water, it residues on a big rocky continent, so this is true only for the north ice-cap.
But there was some other effects too, like the Gulf-stream :)
I don't remember where I saw it, but a report was recently released indicating there are lakes under the southern ice cap. They may hold as much as 90% of the worlds fresh water.
this doesnt disprove global warming....all ur saying is that when ice melts the water level wont rise
By 1172649530 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removek so what if the eas level stays the same r u gunna still let melt or u gunna doing something to stop it ?
lots of animals depend on the ice to live like polar bears and pengunins .
i suppose its typical for an american to make a video like this why cant u be more like al gore or what eva his name is n go and watch the inconevent truth.
as though you think you are better than all the scientist around the world who are studying this crisis. are you not aware or not watching the news. all over the world people are experiencing weather phenomena -worse snow, typhoon, hurricanes, etc. temperature everything is changin nowadays
By dennisG 1172640034 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebasicly he put the ice and after he mark it with the black pen which means the ice will take it place in the glass even after melting ,, u should mark before you put the ice ,,,, simple
By DIABLO1978 1172637674 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe science channel has a great show on ALL the FACTORS that causes global warming...Global Warming-what you need to know..was the name i believe. As others have stated..it is MANY facors... even the temp of the ocean rising 1 degree causes a 'chain reaction' in our weather. I highly recommend the show above ;-)

By Big1One 1172616430 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif the north pole melts it's going to be like your glass of water and ice but under de south pole there's land and that will cause a problem
By knox0202 1172614128 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeu r retarded. anartica and greenland arnt big hunks of floating ice.........all the ice caps are suspended on land. so if all the ice melted, the ocean levels will rise substantially
By bigboymdo 1172613887 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removetake a look at the average tempratures around the world in the last 10-20 years what you'll observe is that the GLOBE is WARMING

By thelastwrod 1172593358 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNow try to put a floating device on top and put the ice on that! The floating device represents the land the ice is on. The northpole won't make sea levels rise. But the south pole will because the ice there is mainly ON LAND! God damn american morons. You sicken me with your "I know best, I know everything you are all F**king dumbasses who thing fossil fuels are gonna ruin the earth" THEY ARE. Stop driving those damn SUVs and start thinking about how your kids are gonna grow up. Damn you're stupid. Pull your fingers out of your ears and possibly a** and start THINKING for a change...
By Grebbie 1172584220 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeice on top of a "floating device" will still displace the weight of the ice, and after it melts, will not. ice melting off the "floating device" will not increase the amount of water. If you think this in incorrect or you don't believe it, then go try it and see.
By aelwero 1173274326 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removetry to think of a cup with no water in it, an filled with icecubes, that ice represent the water above sealevel.. quess what will happen when the ice melts!!
By Mini.me 1172583890 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIce is bigger than water, but about 1/10 of the icecube is above the water and does not affect the "sealevel" but when it welts it all goes into the water, but the masse gets smaller and then qualize the xtra ice
Some people obviously need to read more... Global warming isn't just simple science dude. Go read up.
By Tsukeru 1172579009 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou smart ass,the level growed....look at the level of the water before you put the ice and after,that's the growing level....because as long as the ice is inside the water and it melts,the level remains the same...anyway ...you make me laugh
By Serban JasonX 1172571103 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits not the ice caps...its the ice on top of it...
By Mexican_not-mexicant 1172565926 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removetake a plate. put a wooden block on it. pour some water around the block. mark the waterline. Place an Ice cube on the wooden block. WHen it melts the water level rises. What all the non-idiots are trying to say here is...not all ice is in the ocean now. Its in glaicers on land when it melts into rivers and streams into the ocean the water is going to rise because there will be MORE WATER IN THE OCEAN not on the land like it was. Do you get it retardos? If not, please kill yourself with a soup spoon.
to consider both WEIGHT & VOLUME..... both in case of floating substance & displaced water..... Now please get ur soup spoon ;)
By Anu_The_Guy 1176682802 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTry your little experiment, the water level will not change in the plate. If you float a wood block in water with ice on top, you are displacing the weight of the wood and the ice. when the ice melts, it will add water, but less water will be displaced by the wood, because it is no longer floating the ice with it. The amount of water that isn't displaced by the ice will be the exact amount of water that was in the ice, and the water level will be exactly the same. It's simple displacement. Continents do not float in water though, and any ice melted on land will cause the oceans to rise. Your point is valid, but your example is flawed.

By LAbrit 1172518281 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removesomehow they've carried global warming over from the 90's. What will be next?
Isn't it interesting that many of the people who claim the Biblical flood couldn't have happened, are also on board with global warming that claims if the ice caps melted the Earth would be flooded.
wasnt the biblical flood caused by rain?? what does that have to do with arctic ice melting? what does that have to do with global warming? what does that have t do with anything in this post? well maybe when the earth floods you can be one of 6 billion in line to get on noahs ark.

By Macaw! 1172516804 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe polar ice caps will never fully melt anyway. Just because we are currently in a warming trend, (which happens every thousand years or so as ice layers drilled in the ice caps show) the average Earth temperatures swing like a pendulum. We are on the upswing, and sometime later, we will start the downswing, and scientists will be whining about another ice age.
By doctorgary34 1178923706 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe Earth contains a finite supply of water. No matter how much crud you throw at water, it is purified when it evaporates. Everyone knows water evaporates when it is hotter, and form again as rain, snow, moisture, clouds, and dew.
If the Earth warms up for whatever reason, ice melts and more water is available for evaporation, the Eart will cool itself in the form of more clouds, less sun, and eventually more rain a snow. It is a perefectly designed living system designed by a perfect creator.
Those that believe in God, are not worried. It's not the planet we're worried about, its evil people like Osama, Hussein, Cho, Adminijab.
I wasn't aware of your post until I'd already made mine. But I agree with you there. :>

By SirEdward8 1181522770 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits not the water level people are worried about, its the water temperature. When the ice caps start to melt, the cold water will flow into the warmer water disrupting the ocean currents. This could then possible change the climate because the ocean currents are a big part of the earths temperature, winds, clouds etc
By rusty1123 1174360540 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePlease use a less complicated model next time. We aren't all scientists with an expertise in "climate change" like Destiny.
