| #7 Yeah sorry, spelling. OK, 1.75"r @ 6"h = 57.75"cube volume of glass, filled to 0.25" of top with max ice then water = 55.34"cybe mixture, out on table, plastic wrap so no evaporation or cat, will post in o-club if rollover. Either way, we are not talking about a rising water level as the article suggests. |

| #6 Rising China's strategic focii/prioriy remains Taiwan + displacing the Russians from RFE = Caucasus eastward [ + Mongolia]. AFAIK Russia still desires a cross-strait, inter-connecting Logistics, etc. node between its RFE + ALCAN. |

| #5 Artic renamed to Arctic. As I assume it wasn't referring to any of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artic |

| #4 I have put my glass of ice water filled to the brim out, come back and the level is well below the brim. likely evaporation Try it using clingfilm to cover the top of the glass to stop evaporation. |

| #3 But ice, having more volume than water, and a specific gravity of about 0.91 would displace that volume of water. I have put my glass of ice water filled to the brim out, come back and the level is well below the brim. I'm not saying it would be significant, and totally different than the antartic which is ice on land. |

| #2 You are wrong. Try melting ice cubes in a glass of water and you will see the water level doesn't change. |

| #1 Somebody, please, correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Arctic Ice Cap is essentially a giant ice cube, if it melts won't the sea level decrease? |
