That's basically what global warming fear is about. When the ice on the Antarctica melt into an ocean, the water level rises, causing flooding.

That's just one of the things that can happen

Despite a recent trend of disbelief toward global warming, Mother Nature has just made herself clear.

A giant, trillion-tonne iceberg hasjust broken away from Antarctic ice shelf, and it’s an alarm we should all be heeding.

The iceberg, which has an area of roughly 4 times the size of London at 5800 km2, was part of an ice sheet known as Larsen C.

Researchers at Swansea University had been watching the glacial divide for months, and using satellite imaging, they were able to determine that the iceberg ‘calved’ (broke away) from Antarctica sometime between July 10th and 12th.

Some scientist are with and some are against the fact that this can lead to rise in sea level after melting.

They claimed that the break off has claimed 10% of the ice shelf and that can hasten more glacial flowing into the ocean.



But to me personally, i believe that this can cause the ocean level to rise.

Just like filling a bucket with water, then drop 5kg of ice into it.

Its going to spill now abi


Pictured is what normal iceberg looks like, its floating and about 80% of the mass is underwater.

Now imagine something that's over over a trillion-tonne, 5800km2

You are wrong...The 5kg of ice have always been in the water...remove it...put it back...nothing changes...

There has been different climate changes eg ice age without human emissions. I am with Trump on this global warming thing, would stopping emmisions turn the tide of the so called global warming. Nothing bt propaganda abeg

1. DT is an ass.
2. While stopping emissions might not immediately re verse global warming, it is like applying brakes... it will take a while for the effects to kick in.
3. Alternative clean energy sources are the way to go to save the planet and humanity.
4. Sad story: Nigeria has abundant year round sunlight and solar panels are becoming more efficient and cheaper. 1+1 should be equal to 2 but illiteracy is a serious disease...

Much as there is need to be careful, the whole issue is quite exaggerated.
Water actually expands when it freezes, right?
The ice that broke off is already inside the ocean, at least most of it (since iceberg has most of its mass under water), correct?
Now, tell me again how its melting would result in as much as 10cm rise in global water level.
Kindly recall that the iceberg (both visible and hidden parts) has already displaced equal weight of its volume in the space (this time, ocean) where it is submerged.

yea.. and on the long run, our world can end up under water.
Possibility of new diseases, loss of lives and properties too.

It's a very serious issue we're about to witness.

Ice melting might not mean increase in volume of water . . . Ice displaces its own weight

Explorers:
Due to the rapid rising of temperatures in West Antarctica, ice shelves are becoming more fragile than ever.

Not only does this massive iceberg pose a security risk to maritime traffic, its separation could cause glaciers stabilized by Larsen C to drift into the Atlantic Ocean and melt, which could raise the global water mark by 10 centimeters.

Your posts on Nairaland are out of this world.

And you make no noise while educating people on here.



Maybe Seun should be paying you or you place a demand.
