This is an article that's going to get intensely mis-interpreted by the press and is going to sway public opinion in favor of non-anthropogenic global warming. While the study is solid, the fact remains that in spite of this ice gain, global sea levels ARE rising. Thermal expansion: When water heats up, it expands. About half of the past century's rise in sea level is attributable to warmer oceans simply occupying more space.
- Asbostos 11y agoSea level rise alone isn't a humanity-destroying disaster. It's just a bit of an expense having to build new buildings further inland. We've done a good job of building nearly every building on earth in the past 100 years. We'll probably manage to do it again in the next 100 years if we need to. We'll probably do it anyway even if we don't need to. Buildings are routinely demolished and replaced when they're too old.
