   It’s true, it’s true. I just made a very full glass of iced tea, and now the ice is melting. Any minute now, the tea will spill out of the glass. Ok, any second now…

   Hmmm, why isn’t it spilling? Louse and I are most perplexed…

   Back to school for you Louise and time to learn the Archimedes` Principle. Floating ice displaces its weight in water so melting it make no difference.

     Oh……my……..goodness. What? She even quotes a professor of a study stating the rise? I’ve got to get my hands on that study…….. if one really exists.

     This is real science stuff!!!! A refutation of Archimedes!!!!

   Oh Lord.

   Louise Gray, alleged Environment Correspondent? You just outed yourself as an unqualified fake.

   After I got up from ROTFLMAO I see my wife is also laughing at you. Our cats are laughing at you. Over in the corner tank the fish are laughing at you. But wait, there’s more.

   The neighborhood’s children are laughing at you. Infant babies have stopped crying and are now laughing at you. I flipped on the TV and even the brain dead morons on MSNBC are laughing at you.

   I’m pretty sure the only people not laughing at you right at this moment is Katie Couric and Joe Romm and whoever is the person that hired you.

   The best part about it is that you just put this online. So pretty much everyone in the world is laughing at you.

   Clearly we’re going to need a new word that describes your level of un-intelligence. ‘Stupid’ has been taken by many others as has ‘Idiotic’ and ‘Dumb as a Stump’.

   We’re gonna need a bigger Thesaurus.

   AHAHAHAHHHHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Behind a paywall, but there it is!!!

   Recent loss of floating ice and the consequent sea level contribution

   I’m so glad peer-reviewed literature is a proxy for valid science. Where would we be without it?

     Looks like the guy who had to program the model wasn’t told about the principle of Archimedes. Ah well, stuff happens. The peers didn’t notice so they don’t know the principle as well. Wait…

     Maybe ALL these IPCC sea level experts haven’t heard of it?

       Oh, they say there is some effect due to an alleged change in density.

   LOL,

   The comments in that link have noticed her whopping error too.

   Just more evidence of widespread warmist ignorance we have to put up with.I face this in several forums I visit.Trying to impart real information to get them to catch on.That they are being fed baloney.

   Actually melting ice does make sea level to rise… but only ever so ever slighly so it is not worth worrying about.

   ..and sea-levels are rising so fast right now that they’re going backwards… Scary stuff.
