Hi,

............ I also have trouble with saying that if the glaciers melt then the oceans will rise. Ever put ice cubes in a glass of water and let them melt? The glass doesn't suddenly overflow because the ice melted. I prefer to listen to the science that talks about the connection between how the activity of the sun affects the climate of the earth and not live my life in fear.

Just wanted to note something about this specific point.

Sea ice melting will not increase sea levels, but land based ice will. Not only from the water it releases (minimal) but mainly from the fact that the removal of the weight of it will create a "bounce effect" in the continental plate underneath it.

Parts of the european landmass are still bouncing from the last ice age in fact.

I agree and that's why I used the glass as an example
