Ice

Another horrific prediction by fans of environment protection is that as a result of global warming, icebergs in the two poles would gradually dissolve and the sea level would rise.

There is some good evidence that icebergs are melting away, but, as to the sea level, I would try and give you a secondary school chemistry test. See the following diagram:



If we provide the latent heat to melt the ice and keep the system at 0-degree, how much water would spill out of the glass?

And, if we further increase the temperature of the system to 4-degree, what would happen to the water level?
