I've noticed that every time the ice in my drink melts, the water overflows out of the glass.
Since you, obviously, don't know what scientists are saying and why they say sea levels will rise, you should re-calibrate and re-evaluate whose premise is silly.
Malcolm saysso to try to say sea level will rise because frozen ocean melts is also stupid.

Oh wait, the level never changes when the ice melts.
But the alarmists want us to believe that when the ice melts at the poles, we will all drown.

Not possible unless you have the ice stacked above the rim. If you fill a glass with ice and then fill it to the top of the rim with water, I can assure you it won't overflow as it melts.
Oh wait, the level never changes when the ice melts.
Place a board next to the lip of the glass. Place ice on the board. Let the ice melt. Let the melted ice run into the glass. What happens to the water in the glass? The board is land.
anon_4dce6 saysYou must have missed the second line:
Nope, took it as sarcasm, since most people don't start a thought by saying something that is false, to then correct themselves.

If you want to go that route, how many rivers and water flow into the ocean everyday from land?
How much treated sewage water runs into those rivers and into the ocean, where the original source of the water comes from wells underground?
How much rainwater that falls on land runs into the ocean every day?
How much ice and snow melt from the mountains runs into the ocean everyday?
Yet, somehow the alarmists want to tell us that melting ice at the North and South pole is going to put the country underwater, net none of what I just listed makes any change to the ocean levels.
These alarmist scientists are riding one of the few gravy trains left in science. They are alarmists and should be dismissed as such.
Summary: GW models calculate the volume of water created as land ice melts. That is converted to sea level rise by area of the oceans. This research points out that the ocean floor is changing and that it will take more water to raise the sea level. This is the typical progression of science as new studies help expand our understanding.
Beautifully stated, so will the alarmists please concede that your point of view might change in the future because you don't have all of the answers. Please stop pretending that you can predict climate or understand all of the variables of natural and man-induced variables.

There's no reason for the denialists to blow their snark load over this.
I only hear crickets and insults.

I believe I clearly said floating ice in my comment. There are people who literally think floating ice sheets melting will raise sea levels, they don't. What you describe is part of the normal water cycle. If you can't demonstrate actual sea level rise, then please stop asserting it. It simply hasn't happened.
What about all the water that evaporates off of land from lakes, ponds, rivers, pools, irrigation of agriculture and lawns, powerwashing, car washes, snow, etc. and then falls as rain on the ocean? How come that doesn't cause the oceans to rise?
Inquiring minds want to know?
It won't happen overnight, it took many centuries, but Catastrophists act like one day people will wake up to find Miami or Manhattan under water.
Next excuse for lack of sea level rise:
The oceans are not rising because thirsty fish and other aquatic life are drinking the water as they swim in it. Anyone with a home aquarium knows the water level goes down over time as the fish gulp the fluid.
Any argument that says we should do nothing until we are 100% certain that global warming will destroy the planet is not thinking clearly.

What percent is your certainty? What is the solution to ACGW?
I say that we adapt to whatever challenge nature throws at us. It has worked over millenniums.
90% of the earth's ice is locked in the Antarctica.

I very much hope that was sarcasm.

They will cause enormous upheaval - mass migration, huge food shortages, wars, the loss of many coastal cities, etc., etc.
The weight of evidence is overwhelmingly against you. You can keep repeating the same points over and over again, but the science still remains against you.

Maybe not:
Why Does California Let Billions Of Gallons Of Fresh Water Flow Straight Into The Ocean?
.." Even on the driest year in recorded history in 2013, it still rained 3.6 inches in Los Angeles. An inch of rainfall in L.A. generates 3.8 billion gallons of runoff, so you’re talking about more than 12 billion gallons of water that could be captured, but that flows within hours down our concrete streets and into the ocean.

That's only from CA, what about all the other states, countries around the world?? It's only a "few" BILLION gallons, right?
Oh yeah, only melting ice from the polar caps adds to the level of the ocean, silly me!!

Bingo.
But if they accept that fact, then the grant money will start disappearing...
The science being 'settled' doesn't mean that scientists know everything and can predict temperature and sea levels from year to year over the next 100 yrs.
If scientists knew everything, how could they justify grant money?
And this is the guy who thinks he's smarter than the best climate scientists.

researchers explain how they used a mathematical equation known as the elastic sea level equation to more accurately measure the ocean floor.
