#1 Simple calculation to find the sea level rise. Check out a topgraphic map and buy your property.

When Al starts buying Florida property 40 miles back from the current beachfront, I'll worry. North Orlando elevation 60-70, south Orlando elevation 120-130.

#3 If the entire Artic ice cap melted the amount of seal level rise would equal zero. Try taking a glass of water in ice, when the ice melts it does not raise to water level. Since ice is less dense than water (that's why it floats) it's posible the water level could go down after the ice melts depending on the ratio of ice to water at the start.

Has anybody wondered why the Great Lakes do not overflow when the winter ice melts?

If the Greenland and Antartic glaciers melt that's a different issue. That's like melting ice and pouring into a full glass of water or adding ice to a full glass.

#5 Big rafts of ice have broken off the Antartic floating ice. No big deal. If as you say the glacier ice on the Antartic Continent is increasing Miami Beach will become a mountain resort in 23 years. Take that Algore!

#7 Well, I knew about the Artic ice floating, of course, and just got momentarily confused with the Antartic ice.

or maybe I forgot.

Nice picture of the seagull, BTW. Missed that the first time, too.

#8 Bobby - I was speaking to the floating ice such as the Ross ice shelf along side of the Anartic continent. You know, like McMurdo Sound opens and closes every year.

#9 Methinks Al Gore opened a real estate office on Ice Station Zebra.
