#3 Once again, if the ENTIRE Arctic ice cap melted, it would not raise sea levels around the world one millimeter. Since water expands as it freezes, ice is less dense than water. When the ice melts, the volume of water remains the same.
The Antarctic ice cap is another matter. However, I seem to recall that the southern ice cap is growing.
(Yes, I know that if Greenland melted completely, it would raise the sea level a little.)

#4 I'm a math kinda guy, I converted the Millimeters to inches, and to use a reference anyone can grasp, get this, the rise they're claiming is .012 this equals the width of eight human hairs (Hairs are about 1 and 1/2 thousandths thick)

So OK everybody panic now, that 12 thousandths of an inch. is supposed to flood all low lying areas, cause huge loss of cropland and all life in low areas.

Can anyone besides me call "Bullshit" there are NO places where that tiny a rise will make any difference at all.
