One of the scary reasons to pay attention to ocean warming is
that much is really cold (like in the 30's and low 40's in
Fahrenheit). If all that ocean water warms just a few
degrees, it will expand, and thus the level will go up.
Somebody ought to have the calculated data how much up that up
is.
Not scary at all to anyone who's had an education in the
physical sciences.

Water has its maximum density of 1.00000 g/ml at 3.98 degrees
C. At 5 deg C (41 deg F) its density is 0.99999 g/ml, and at 10
deg C (50 deg F) the density is 0.99973 g/ml -- IOW, warming
from 4 deg C to 10 deg C, water will expand by a factor of
(1.00000 / 0.99973) = 1.00027, or about one-fortieth of one per
cent.

Water is actually more dense at 5 deg C than at 0.

[Source for the above data is the Handbook of Chemistry and
Physics]

From that date, io if the ocean was 36%F, and it rose to 38%F,
the
water level would actually fall due to contraction, rather than
rise due to expansion..

That is correct.

Not that the facts will change the minds of those who
worship at the alter of AlGore.
