I hate to break the news to you but there is volcanic activity in
Antarctica. In fact Mount Erebus is classified as a stratovolcano,
the same as Krakatoa and Mount St Helens and we all know what a bang
they made.

Do SUV's float?

For a little while, if you don't open a door or window.

It is difficult to imagine how just the ice sheet on
Greenland could raise sea level so much if it melts, but
somebody did the math.

Maths ...

IIRC 76 metres

And there is something that skews the data on
sea level rising, over the last 300 years, dams have been
built that reduced or delayed runoff into the ocean,
and about all the dams that can be built, have been built.
