Earth's crust is significantly denser than water, with the average density of the Earth's crust being around 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter, while water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter at its maximum density.
Earth's crust is literally floating on the layers below it.
Water can get trapped and pulled down though.
Own a pool with a leak in just one spot on the bottom. There's leaks in the oceans. It gets filled back up with rain and the evaporates again. If the ice caps melted nothing would change. It's plate movement that changes sea level and that takes forever, yet we make policy on climate change that makes no difference.
CO2 is good for trees. Water levels haven't changed in 150 years with photographic evidence. It's an industry that was created to make a profit. It might be the biggest snake oil campaign ever.
Remember that the #1 issue facing voters this election season is climate change. At least according to some leftist POS.

Unfortunately, the real issue is abortion, and that draws too many female votes.
I know at least two, both from Texas, and they are literally single-issue voters. Their mantra "we have daughters, so abortion is be all, end all issue".

Sooo....they want their grandchildren to be murdered.
Just be happy the BRICS nations aren't fucking like bunnies.
Per kilowatt of capacity, natural gas construction costs averaged $820 in 2022, whereas average solar construction costs rose to $1,588 and average wind construction costs rose to $1,451. Natural gas construction is about half as expensive as either solar or wind. And that’s before considering that solar and wind are only running between a quarter and a third of the time.
Increases in solar construction costs were driven by a 13% increase in crystalline silicon tracking panel costs, the kind of solar panel that follows the sun’s movement and the most common type of U.S. solar panel installation, which increased to $1,605 per kilowatt. Wind turbine construction costs were driven by wind farms with turbines larger than 100 megawatts of capacity and less than 200 megawatts, which grew by 10%.
Natural gas construction costs decreased largely due to sharp decreases in the cost of combined-cycle facilities, which declined 42% in 2022 to $722 per kilowatt. Combined cycle is the most common type of natural gas-fired generator, is highly efficient, and is used for baseload consistent power generation.
"In 2014, intelligence led then NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to conclude that Moscow had colluded with environmental groups to block fracking in Romania, Lithuania and Bulgaria. "Russia, as part of its sophisticated information and disinformation operations, has actively engaged with so-called non-governmental organizations - environmental groups opposed to shale gas - to maintain dependence on Russian gas imports," Rasmussen said.
