The Arctic Ice Cap is melting but the Ice Cap is floating on the ocean
so it is fully displaced in water.

fully melted the ocean level will actually decrease by about 10% of
the total volume of the entire Arctic Ice Cap.

I guess the question is why do the "experts" claim that the melting
ice will raise ocean levels. If the Ice were located on land and not
displaced in water then the melt would add to the volume of the ocean
but since the melt adds nothing to the volume of water because it is
floating in the water the ocean level cannot rise. I'm not too bright
so could somebody please explain to me how melting {ocean ice}
increases ocean levels???

Remember, frozen water increases in total volume by about 10% and
decreases by the same amount. Now there are some Ice Caps in the
Northern regions such as Greenland which if melted could raise ocean
levels a bit but this in itself is interesting given that less than a
thousand years ago Greenland was Green (hence it's name). The Oceans
must have been higher as little as 1000 years ago OR the Greenland Ice
was located somewhere else.

Antarctica is a land mass with Ice on average 7000 feet thick and over
2 miles thick in some areas. The 6,000,000 cubic miles of ice in
Antarctica could raise ocean levels about 200 feet if it melted. But
this is unlikely since the average temperatures in Antarctica is about
-37F. Additionally the ice levels in the Antarctic are actually
increasing so perhaps the Arctic melt is winding up in the Antarctic.

Quite interesting. I'm actually looking forward to Global Warming
since during the last Warm period the Earth was covered by lush green
jungles and forests. The coastal waters in many areas were like a warm
bath and the oxygen levels of the atmosphere were much higher than
they are today.

Praise Natas!!!
