Will melting ice cause water level to rise?

[Saparonia]

Mars and Pluto are warming and the Sun is the cause of it. Nasa have forecast a period of cold after 2013. People are making money from the myth of human induced global warming. Their energy should be focused on getting rid of nuclear power stations in this period of unpredictable solar activity

ice expands and water contracts.. but u forgot that since ice floats, a large portion of the vol of ice is not actually under water level and thus do not contribute to the water level..

read the disclaimer that i posted..

Btw i hav a degree in physics and i am doing this as part of a lesson for my students, so i do know what i am saying=)

@GenesiusWijaya For someone with a Degree in Physics, you should know that. According to Archimedes:

"Any floating object displaces its own weight of fluid."

So yes, the portion above the water, does contribute to the water level, as it's mass is displaced by the water.

@Phylo45 yups u are correct, but we are talking about volume contribution ie the absolute volume under water.

the whole point of this experiment is to prove the volume contribution vs the mass contribution of water according to archimedes principle before and after melting.. refer to my video description on the detailed mathematical proof =)

@GenesiusWijaya oh my bad. It seemed as if you were contradicting yourself, but apparently not :)

Carbon emissions take 1. Lets continue the cycle of life by taking out the very element that allows it to exist. Carbon emissions take 2. I dont want you to eat that plate of food. Here! i will just take the fork away from you.  Damn, i didnt think you would just use your hand to eat it instead.

Let me elaborate. Lets take an elephant for example. We will view this elephant thru a magnifying glass. The assessment is that the elephant is just too BIG. We want the elephant to be smaller. So we toss the magnifying glass out the window & look at the elephant. Well, there you go, the elephant isnt big anymore. problem solved. But the truth being is that the elephant is still big with or without the magnifying glass. This is the illogic behind carbon emissions.

[LendMeYourHand]

Let me explain this to you. Carbon amplifies background radiation. What you propose, or should i say the corupt industries that seem to escape any accountability for regulating their radioactive emissions propose, is to LOOK THE OTHER WAY. Oddly enough Nuclear industry & the oil tycoons are putting big money behind the lie. So the plan is to do something about the dirty bathwater & the plan is to throw the baby out. Well, they dont plan on throwing the bathwater out with it in this case.

[LendMeYourHand]

These people that dont know science from a hole in their ass. Ice expands-water contracts. Does it really take any brains to figure that out? Maybe you need to give up thinking all together. Figuring how you are one of those Carbon emission dopes. Did it ever occur to you if the THEORETICAL global warming existed, that we should be targeting the Nuclear industry that leak 30% over safe levels, The Offshore oil fracking that releases radiation from the core. It is background radiation.. DERP!

You can't argue with physics. Melting ice caps does not mean rising sea levels. Global warming is bollox. More CO2 means more food for a growing population. Carbon tax = depopulation. The greenhouse effect also helps calm the weather. I look forward to a warmer climate. Unfortunately it's actually been cooling for over a decade & sea levels have actually fallen.

Disclaimer: this experiment DOES NOT proof that global warming will not rise sea levels. The rise in sea level due to global warming is very real and encompasses much more factors than simply floating glaciers melting. The in dept discussion on the factors that are the real cause of rising sea levels are out of the scope of this experiment.
