Antarctica has land beneath it so it's not that dramatic, besides if we have more water it'll mean less hosepipe bans 
BREAKING NEWS ALERT! Antarctica gone down to the pub

Just waiting for the "oh crap melting ice does add water to the ocean" then it can all be forgotten.

It just seems fashionable to joke about topics like these these days, and if even mildly concerned then you get blasted with stupid comments like
etc"we're all going to die"
There are now millions of scientists out there that now conclusively agree that we are contributing to global warming and that it is becoming a real threat, yet arm chair conjecturer's on here think they know more, I suggest they get in contact with the relevant environmental departments and disclose their scientific findings.

I never said it did i asked if it would raise the level
You had clear reasoning in your post, even going to the effort of using terms like "net change" and displacement.I never said it did i asked if it would raise the level
Like I said, one of us is big enough to admit to a retard moment. It isn't you.
stop before you embarras yourself further.
As a fun childrens experiemtn, put some ice-cubes in a glass with water and measure the water level, once the ice has melted measure again.
Its like the whole "whats heavier, 1 ton of feathers or 1 ton of iron". Density matters not, just the dispalcment
Irony, read the thread before posting.
But yeah, you better tell all those climatologists that ice caps melting does not increase sea level.
Crisis averted, we can give D.P. a medal for proving Ken Livingstone wrong.
You might want to build that bunker up a tree rather than underground what with sea levels rising and all that...

Hmmm - many a time I've been for a meal and I'll have a pint of diet coke filled with ice cubes right to the top.
I usually let all the ice melt and not once has my glass ran over.
Amazingly, he did... way before your post...

meh turns out salt water is more dense than fresh so it will add 2.6% more than it displaced.
We where taught with tap water in school, where it doesn't add anything.
And as for reasoning, it's generally best to put your reasoning forward when asking a question, so the other person understands what your asking better.
Arrrrggggh this topic is too complicated, I don't think I've ever been right and wrong then right again then wrong again and so on so many times in one thread before.
Shall we just leave it to the climatologists?

Not good enough, I'm off to the stables
