"When an ice cube melts in a glass, the overall water level does not change from when the ice is frozen to when it joins the liquid. Doesnâ(TM)t that mean that melting icebergs shouldnâ(TM)t contribute to sea-level rise? Not quite.
Although most of the contributions to sea-level rise come from water and ice moving from land into the ocean, it turns out that the melting of floating ice causes a small amount of sea-level rise, too.
Globally, it doesnâ(TM)t sound like much â" just 0.049 millimetres per year â" but if all the sea ice currently bobbing on the oceans were to melt, it could raise sea level by 4 to 6 centimetres.
Fresh water, of which icebergs are made, is less dense than salty sea water. So while the amount of sea water displaced by the iceberg is equal to its weight, the melted fresh water will take up a slightly larger volume than the displaced salt water. This results in a small increase in the water level."
"When you learned about Archimedes back in elementary school, your teacher probably told you that a floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. Although an ice cube pokes up out of the water, when it melts, the level of the water should stay the same. Extrapolate this concept to an iceberg floating in the oceanâ"a bigger version of the ice cube in your water glassâ"and you would think that melting icebergs shouldn't contribute to sea level rise. Well, you'd be wrong, say geoscientists at the University of Leeds.
In their study, published this week in Geophysical Research Letters, the researchers used satellite observations and a computer model to assess the impacts of melting icebergs. The total amount of floating ice that is turned into ocean water each year is equivalent to 1.5 million Titanic-sized icebergs. Due to differences in the temperature and density of the ice and water (the seawater is warmer and saltier than the icebergs that float in it), when the icebergs melt, the resulting ocean water is 2.6 percent greater in volume than the volume of water that the iceberg had displaced."
"In a paper titled "The Melting of Floating Ice will Raise the Ocean Level" submitted to Geophysical Journal International, Noerdlinger demonstrates that melt water from sea ice and floating ice shelves could add 2.6% more water to the ocean than the water displaced by the ice, or the equivalent of approximately 4 centimeters (1.57 inches) of sea-level rise.
The common misconception that floating ice wonâ(TM)t increase sea level when it melts occurs because the difference in density between fresh water and salt water is not taken into consideration."
The only reason they're pretending to go along is votes.
Which demonstrates that they don't have any actual principles, they just want power, and are willing to do whatever is necessary to get it and keep it.
Salt water is denser than fresh water. The iceberg is made of fresh water ice. The ocean is made of salt water. When the iceberg melts, it turns into fresh water, which is less dense than the ocean water. This decreases the density of the system. Since the mass hasn't changed, that means the volume goes up.
This effect is very small (to the point of insignificance), but it exists.
Ice melting in fresh water, that's true. We're talking about ice melting in salt water though. The fresh meltwater is less dense than the salt water; in other words in takes up more space. Therefore, the water level rises as it melts.
But substitute "mindfulness" with "prayer" (which itself could be seen as a form of mindfulness), would the study be taken seriously by the medical community?
It's true, melting the iceberg faster will raise sea levels faster, but only by a tiny degree. The fresh water that the ice becomes when it melts is less dense than the salt water in the ocean.
You're saying the Sahara is not currently the breadbasket of the Roman empire? Or did I misunderstand what you were replying to? I would think it goes without saying that no place is the breadbasket of an empire that no longer exists.
You think that an iceberg that is floating in the water has not raised the level of the ocean (ever so slightly), but it will when it melts?
Slightly, yes, due to the fresh water melting into the salt water.

How is the encoding the problem? Generally encoding is not a security measure, but an interoperability measure. If you're relying on encoding rather than encryption, that doesn't sound like security at all. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
But any time someone talks about receiving "death threats over the internet" remember that "go DIAF" technically counts.
I disagree. "Go die in a fire" may be offensive or scary or hostile, but it is not a threat. "I'm going to kill you" is. One indicates an action the speaker is planning to take, and the other does not.
I'm not sure how relieved you should be. Trump has only turned against Sessions because Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation rather than shutting/slowing it down. If he is replaced, opposing forfeiture will not be a criterion for selecting his replacement.

You asked how it's anyone else's problem and I answered. That's generally how this works.
And a taifune is just the same thing as an hurricane anyway.
That's spelled "typhoon".

Correct - or sink a Titanic and then melt.
By the way did you know there's a photo of the iceberg that sank the Titanic? There's a smear of red paint on the side.
Also keep in mind a portion of the berg is above water when it's solid. Even if the volume stayed the same, melting would still raise the sea level.
That is not correct. Here are a couple of explanations: http://www.physlink.com/educat...

There are plenty more, but if that doesn't convince you then I imagine nothing will.

How about instead we don't build enormous cities in deserts.
Too late.

Is thin and short better, or thin and tall? The Masai for example are very tall.
Most of the fresh water will escape into the ocean and become useless seawater by the time it's at Dubai.
You've done the math on that?

(I'm not the person you replied to)
1. Icebergs are going to melt anyway, it doesn't matter where they do it
2. "if all the sea ice currently bobbing on the oceans were to melt, it could raise sea level by 4 to 6 centimetres."
I wouldn't worry about it.

Rather make people smarter.
How do you propose to do that?

They could probably make a lot more money by quitting and writing a book and/or going on the lecture tour.
