had this argument with my girlfriend last nite and I am interested in the replies it will get.
I suggest that sea levels will rise. The example i used is if you had a washing up bowl full of water and another one full of water that was frozen to ice.. if you melted the ice then poured it into the tub full of water the water would over flow.
She says she has be told that the density of water and ice is the same and that the ice caps melting would not affect sea levels, but, the reason for sea levels rising is erosion.
I have since found some facts on this but am interested in what other people think.
