Just to ensure nobody is fooled by this idiot, the SMB clearly states: "It does not include the mass that is lost when glaciers calve off icebergs and melt as they come into contact with warm seawater. "

- the_third_wave 4y agoNice snub. Realise why those glaciers calve off icebergs - it is related to the flow of the glacier which is in turn a function of the amount of mass accumulated. As to those icebergs 'melting in contact with warm seawater' I can add that this is what icebergs do when they come into contact with seawater - they melt. Did you think they just stayed around forever to accumulate somewhere in a giant iceberg pileup? Nope, they melt and return the water to the ocean from where it eventually evaporates for a new cycle. So before you call someone an 'idiot' I'd suggest you read up on the subject so as to make yourself look like less of one.
