If all the ice floating in the Arctic Sea should melt, the sea level wouldn’t rise a wit, since this ice is already displacing the water it’s floating in, just like the ice in your tea or whatever doesn’t make your drink flow over the top when it melts. If all the land based ice should melt it could make some difference, but how much of this ice is there?

To be fair, those who advance the sea level raising concerns who aren’t kneejerk moonbats or teh Goracle, are concerned with Antarctica’s and Greenland’s ice melting and flowing into the sea, not the northern polar ice cap.
