The linked article/summary is inaccurate as the scientists who did the study are not NOAA folks. They're from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Stony Brook University, and the University of Tokyo. [author affiliations from the actual paper from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ]. The study was funded by the Moore Foundation, National Science Foundation, and WHOI.
So please redirect all government conspiracy comments to the university/academic conspiracy forum.
If you put ice cubes in a glass, fill it to the brim with water and let the ice melt, then the the glass will NOT be as full as it was originally since the melted (liquid) ice has less volume than the frozen (solid) water. The mass has stayed the same, but the total volume definitely changes (feeze a full glass of water and the ice will be above the rim).
Your preceding sentence was correct that 1 kg of ice has more volume than 1 kg of water.
