Glaciers melting cannot raise the sea level

You have a glass with ice floating at the top. Libs want you to believe that if that ice melts, the glass will overflow.

With permafrost you could theorrtically just build above ground tanks to store it in and use as water for households.

Hello MP:

If all the ice was UNDER the surface, you'd be right. It wouldn't raise the water level when it melts.... But, the ice that's gonna melt is ABOVE the water, and when it melts, sea levels will rise.. Think of it this way... Your glass is full of water and ice.. IF you add MORE ice, it's gonna overflow.

I dunno if that's science or not. It's just observable phenomenon..

In what universe will the Earth add more ice to the scenario?

Can't argue with the two previous posters. It seems fairly obvious that the analogy won't work.

Is OP goddamned stupid or what?

Yes, when glaciers melt it raises the sea level, because it lowers the salinity of the saltwater and hence increases the volume of the ocean.
