If you melt glacial ice, or ice cap ice where do you think the water goes; into the sea.. The level in a gin and tonic will rise if you put ice in the drink and the ice then melts and the level stays higher than before ice was added. The reason it’s not visible is the G&T is being drunk before you notice the effect.
...
Brilliant idea. lets all drink more water to control the sea level. You should get a Darwin Award for that OC :ROFLMAO:

I thought that you had bought a Lexus petrol hybrid?
I thought most of the ice was under the surface of the sea!…..Tip of the iceberg! Water expands when it freezes, so if it melts, sea levels will drop. 🤔

What about the ice sheets and glaciers in the Arctic, high mountain ranges and Antarctic. None of that is floating as it’s on land. So when it melts where will the meltwaters finish up?

I find your comment wrt to Darwin Award totally incorrect. Nowhere was I advocating that by drinking a gin and tonic with ice would keep sea levels under control. It was just an example that if you put ice in the G&T it will melt and increase the level. Just like ice sheets and glaciers do when they melt. But of course those that like G&T don’t notice it because they are too involved in enjoying it. 😂



Plus I don’t qualify in Darwin Award status as can be seen below.

They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool by dying or becoming sterilized by their own actions.
