Hi,
John C. stated a that "But iceberg melting does not contribute to sea level rise.". Here is a link to a paper which challenges this idea:
<http://scitation.aip.org/content/aapt/journal/tpt/48/5/10.1119/1.3393068>
A short excerpt from the abstract:
":..the sea level will rise. The analysis shows the wrong conventional answer [such as the statement above] is due to the wrong assumption that water from a melted iceberg has the same density as seawater."
The argument seems convincing and the demonstration does work. Any counter-arguments?
Cheers,
