I hope it collapses. I want to see what happens.

Why isn’t anyone worried about the glaciers that carved Yosemite? Where are those? What about the glaciers that formed the Great Lakes? And Long Island, NY? Did we not learn our lesson when we melted those?

Both of these were addressed through direct government intervention.

The floating ice cube has a mass of 10 grams, so based on Archimedes' Principle 1, it is displacing 10 grams of water (which has 10cm^3 of volume). You can't squeeze a 10.9cm^3 ice cube into a 10cm^3 space, so the rest of the ice cube (about 9% of it) will be floating above the water line.
So what happens when the ice cube melts? The ice shrinks (decreases volume) and becomes more dense. The ice density will increase from .92g/cm^3 to that of liquid water (1g/cm^3). Note that the weight will not (and cannot) change. The mass just becomes more dense and smaller - similar to putting blocks back into their original positions in our Jenga tower. We know the ice cube weighed 10 grams initially, and we know it's density (1g/cm^3), so let's apply the formula to determine how much volume the melted ice cube takes. The answer is 10 cubic centimeters (10g / 1g/cm^3 = 10cm^3), which is exactly the same volume as the water that was initially displaced by the ice cube.
In short, the water level will not change as the ice cube melts

A floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. Since water expands when it freezes, one ounce of frozen water has a larger volume than one ounce of liquid water.
Am I the only one who paid attention in science class?
Actually I didn’t either just googled it.

Acid rain was a local NE United States issue caused by plant emissions. So the US government.
Ozone hole caused by CFCs. This was addressed by, to date 197, countries that have now banned the use of CFCs. So 197 governments.

What I can understand is all these scientists go through the ice with these ice breakers like they don't compound the situation. Like no shite it melts faster, you're breaking up the ice into smaller and smaller pieces.

When are China and India gonna stop treating the earth like a sewer?

Do volcanoes next. Then lithium waste.
The same people that block nuclear are the same people that turn a blind eye to China.

I hope it melts. It will cool off the ocean and make swimming more enjoyable.

The hole in the ozone layer that develops annually is “rather larger than usual” and is currently bigger than Antartica, say the scientists responsible for monitoring it. Researchers from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service say that this year’s hole is growing quickly and is larger than 75% of ozone holes at this stage in the season since 1979.
Ooops

I am scared to death after reading this thread. Who can I send money to in order to save our coastlines? I am ready to help.
