Default Will sea levels really rise if the glaciers melt?

An experiment: Fill a tall clear glass half-way with ice cubes. Then
add enough water so the bottom cubes no longer touch the bottom
(i.e., they are all floating). Now put a mark at the water level and
wait until the cubes all melt. Did the water rise above your mark?

In my case, it didn't.


Good right wing thinking. Just ignore the huge volume of glaciers on land.
When
they melt, they flow into the sea and cause it to rise.

Interesting. So asking questions, wondering about things, trying
experiments and seeing what others have to say about it is "Good right
wing thinking"

What is good left wing thinking then?
