so you won't answer what happens to water levels when floating ice melts? hmmmmm, I guess that's the smart thing to do since you don't know the answer.Then I guess it means nothing.you aren't the brightest bulb I see. you said floating melting ice. now does floating ice melting raise water levels. it was a test to see how stupid you really are.Please explain what the fuck a melting ice cube in a glass of water has to with anything.dude, why are you worried about the arctic melting then? you mentioned it, not me. come on genius, light us up!An ice cube melting in a glass of water is not analogous to what is happening in our oceans. The two major causes of global sea level rise are:so, when you have a glass of ice, fill that glass with liquid, and the ice then melts, how bad is the spill?
Is sea level rising?
- Thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean since water expands as it warms.
- Increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets. Freshwater is not as dense as saltwater. Freshwater actually has greater volume than an equivalent weight of saltwater. Thus, when freshwater ice melts in the ocean, it contributes a greater volume of melt water.

again, if ice is floating, will it cause a spill in the glass of liquid? you seem to keep going back there. Melting of floating ice. hmmmmm.
