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?


Doing a little basic research, and actually thinking about all the issues
involved in the problem. Not making rash conclusions and basing your thinking on
that, or basing your think on the desired results.
